A watercolour showing a view of the side of Craig Gowish Mountain near Balmoral. A mountain range is shown in the background. Inscribed lower left: Craig Gowish Sept: 21: 1859. Queen Victoria climbed Craig Gewish on 21 September 1859 with three of her children, lunching at the top where they remained for some time sketching. Queen Victoria describes Craig Gewish as "the most difficult ascent I have ever made" in her journal entry of that day. She describes the descent however, as "a wonderful but very amusing affair, for the Children did nothing but slip & roll, laughing at every step".
