Inscribed below mounted sheet: Near Loch Callater looking back towards Braemar - Oct: 3. 1865. While staying at Balmoral Queen Victoria made many expeditions to local beauty spots. On 3 October 1865 the Queen went to Loch Callater with two of her daughters, Princess Alice and Princess Helena. In her journal entry of that day, Queen Victoria describes how, while at the loch, she "sketched a little, the lights & colouring being quite beautiful".
