Temporary Barrack at Ballater for the Queen's Guard of Honour, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Temporary Barrack at Ballater for the Queen's Guard of Honour, 1850. About eight miles distant from her Majesty [Queen Victoria]'s Castle of Balmoral is the delightful village of Ballater [in Scotland], where a temporary Barrack has been provided for the accommodation of the guard of honour in attendance upon the Queen, consisting of a detachment of the 93rd or Sutherland Highlanders, which is quartered in the village. The house and enclosure used as a Barrack is situated in the centre of the village: it forms one of the sides of a spacious grass square, in the middle of which stands the church. Ballater is most beautifully situated on the left bank of the river Dee, and lies embosomed in the hills; the blue summit of Loch-na-gar closing in the distant view. The appearance of the place, approached from the high-road from Aberdeen, gives one much the idea of a Swiss village'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1850, depicts the Temporary Barracks at Ballater in Scotland, which were established to house the Queen's Guard of Honour during her visits to Balmoral Castle. The image shows the barracks, located in the heart of the picturesque village of Ballater, surrounded by lush greenery and the beautiful River Dee. The 93rd Sutherland Highlanders, a detachment of the guard, are quartered in the village, making the house and enclosure their temporary home. The barracks are situated on one side of a spacious grass square, with the quaint church standing proudly in the middle. Ballater, with its stunning location on the left bank of the river, is described as a Swiss village due to its idyllic setting nestled among the hills. The Queen's Castle of Balmoral is approximately eight miles away, and the village's charming appearance, as approached from the Aberdeen high-road, leaves a lasting impression. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the logistical arrangements made to accommodate the Queen's Guard during her visits to Scotland in the mid-19th century.
