Old Crathie Church, Balmoral - Now The Site of the New Church,
EDITORS COMMENTS
c1897, is an intriguing photograph capturing the transformation of Crathie Kirk in the Scottish Highlands. The image shows the remains of the old Crathie Church, which once served as the regular place of worship for the British royal family during their stays at Balmoral Castle. The foundation stone for a newer and larger church was laid by Queen Victoria herself in 1893, marking the beginning of the construction of the current Crathie Kirk. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the old church's distinctive features, including its bell tower and belfry, which now stand as relics of the past. The exterior of the church, with its whitewashed walls and steeply pitched roof, is a testament to the architectural beauty of the Church of Scotland. The image also reveals the church's location nestled amidst the picturesque Scottish Highlands, with the lush greenery and rolling hills serving as a serene backdrop. The photograph is taken from "The Queen's Resolve and Her Doubly Royal Reign of Sixty Years" by Reverend Charles Bullock, published by the Home Words Publishing Office in London during the 19th century. The image offers a unique perspective on the history of the Crathie Kirk and the significance of the royal connection to this place of worship. The old church may no longer stand, but its legacy lives on in this photograph.
