Inscribed lower right: View from the bridge at the waterfall in Balloch Bowie [Buie] - VR del - Sept: 23 1848 - While staying at Balmoral, Queen Victoria made many expeditions to local beauty spots. On 23 September 1848, the Queen drove to the Ballochbuie forest with her Lady of the Bedchamber, Charlotte, Viscountess Canning. Queen Victoria records the visit in her journal entry of that day, describing how they walked to the top of the Garbh-Allt Falls where they "sat down & sketched, but it was so difficult, that I failed. We did a slight sketch from the bridge, & then walked down to the carriage".
