Birk Hall, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Birk Hall, [in Aberdeenshire, Scotland], 1850. Birk Hall [now known as Birkhall] is one of the three royal residences in this part of Scotland, with which Abergeldie and Balmoral form the trio. In itself it has little to recommend it, beyond the fact of its being a royal demesne; being comparatively modern in its construction, yet by no means ungainly, and, moreover, exquisitely planted in the midst of clustering woodlands. It has the advantage of being within a short distance of the town of Ballater, from the opposite side of which, at a little distance on the high-road, is one of the grandest views that can well be conceived. Immediately in front, and below the spectator, is the town just named: beside it flows the Dee; beyond is Birk Hall, towering over which and the surrounding scene are the lofty hills, while Loch-na-gar, far above them all, closes in, and completes the view'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
Birk Hall, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 1850: A Royal Retreat Amidst Clustering Woodlands Birk Hall, now known as Birkhall, is one of the three royal residences in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with Abergeldie and Balmoral forming the trio. This exquisitely planted estate, comparatively modern in its construction, stands tall amidst the clustering woodlands, boasting an unassuming yet charming presence. The house, though not ancient, is not ungainly, and its proximity to the town of Ballater offers a grand view that few can rival. Immediately in front and below the viewer lies the quaint town of Ballater, with the Dee flowing beside it. Beyond, the lofty hills tower over the scene, and Loch-na-gar, nestled high above them all, completes the breathtaking panorama. This engraving, from the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures the essence of Birk Hall as it once was - a royal demesne amidst nature's grandeur. The print, created by an unknown artist, showcases the beauty of the Scottish countryside and the charm of Birk Hall. The image, reminiscent of the Victorian era, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the serene beauty of this remote location. The trees and plants, meticulously rendered in the engraving, add to the sense of tranquility and peace that pervades the scene. Birk Hall, with its rich history and stunning location, continues to be a popular destination for visitors to Scotland. This engraving serves as a testament to its timeless allure and the enduring appeal of Scotland's natural beauty.
