EDITORS COMMENTS
Pass of Killiecrankie, Queens View, Scotland: A Journey Back in Time (ca. 1890-1900) Step back in time with this beautiful, coloured photograph of the Pass of Killiecrankie and Queens View in Scotland, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900. This picturesque scene transports us to a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia and historical intrigue. The Pass of Killiecrankie, a narrow gorge in Perthshire, Scotland, was the site of a famous battle in 1689 between the Scottish and English armies. The name "Killiecrankie" is believed to derive from the Gaelic words "Ceann Fhiodh Chille Chriosd," meaning "the head of the wood of the tree of Christ." The pass's rugged terrain and stunning natural beauty have made it a popular tourist destination for centuries. Queens View, located near the Pass of Killiecrankie, offers a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding countryside. The viewpoint takes its name from Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Consort of King James V, who is said to have stopped there during a hunting trip in the late 16th century. The view is a feast for the eyes, with the Rannoch Moor, Loch Tummel, and Schiehallion mountain forming a breathtaking tableau. This photograph, with its rich colours and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the experiences of travellers who journeyed to this enchanting place over a century ago. The photochrom process, a popular method of colouring photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds an extra layer of charm and historical authenticity to this image.
