Légende
Crathie Kirk and Manse, [in Aberdeenshire, Scotland], 1850. 'The view of the Manse [vicarage] and Kirk [church] of Crathie was taken, by permission, from the private grounds at Balmoral. The Kirk is a very small square building, slightly elevated on a knoll, and is seen from a considerable distance. It was here, last season, that (in a storm of rain which had lasted from early morning), on her Majesty [Queen Victoria] leaving the kirk - for nothing prevented the regularity of the Queen's attendance at Divine worship - the ground was so thoroughly drenched with rain that it stood in pools between the church door and the carriage, so as seriously to inconvenience her Majesty's reaching it, when Mr. Fisk [artist of this view] spread his plaid upon the ground, over which her Majesty and suite passed to their carriages'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
