A watercolour showing Corrie Buie (also known as Choire Bhuidhe), with rough stony land in the foreground, fir trees in the middle distance and mountains and hills behind. Verso is inscribed with the name of the artist, title and '19 Sept 1848'.

This watercolour dates from Queen Victoria's first trip to Balmoral, made in September 1848. On 20 September the Queen recorded seeing an "a beautiful spot called Corra Buie. The distant hills formed such a fine background". Charlotte, Viscountess Canning was in Waiting to the Queen during this Scottish visit and, as on other occasions, Lady Canning's artistic talent was such that she was commanded to produce a series of views. Queen Victoria greatly admired Lady Canning's productions, describing them as "so like the places", and there is a large corpus of works by her in the Royal Collection. Many of these, including this one, were originally mounted in the View Albums that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert compiled together over the course of their marriage. 

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert compiled nine View Albums during their marriage. These albums contained watercolours and drawings documenting their life together and were arranged in chronological order. The albums were dismantled in the early twentieth century and rebound in new volumes both in a different arrangement and with additional items, but a written record of their original contents and arrangement still exists.
