Loch Muick is on the Balmoral estate in Scotland. Queen Victoria had loved the scenery there for many years. In 1849 she described it as 'so wild and grand, real severe Highland scenery, with trees in the hollow'. In 1850 she noted: 'a new road has been made, and an excellent one it is, winding along above the lake'. The Queen can be seen in the painting riding along the road on a pony.
