Légende

Abergeldie Castle, [in Aberdeenshire, Scotland], 1850. The castle is '...situated immediately on the banks of the river [Dee], and, approached by the high-road from Aberdeen, seems, as it were, closed in by the mountains at the foot of which it rests, and thus appears to be isolated; though, in fact, it stands in the midst of the valley, and may be seen from the private grounds of Balmoral, almost buried in the deep masses of the woodlands which intervene...Abergeldie Castle has been taken for a term by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, who is now sojourning there, within sight of the Highland home of her illustrious daughter [Queen Victoria]. Mr. James Browne, in his "New Deeside Guide," describes Abergeldie as a very stately and ancient castle, which was long in the possession of the Gordons, one of the oldest and most honourable families in Aberdeenshire...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
