The Proposed Railway near Balmoral, Lochnagar and the Valley of the Dee
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment in time when progress clashed with tradition in the scenic Scottish countryside. This 19th-century engraving, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration originally published in The Graphic on October 13,1883. The image transports us to a landscape dotted with significant landmarks: the late Mr. John Brown's house, an obelisk marking his memory; Lochnagar Distillery nestled among rolling hills; and the picturesque River Dee winding its way through the valley. A quaint village with its churchyard and manse adds charm to this idyllic scene. At its center is Balmoral Castle, where Queen Victoria spent her summers and meticulously documented her experiences in her diary. Towering above it all is Albert Cairn, dedicated to Prince Consort's statue. Yet amidst this serene beauty lies controversy—the proposed railway that threatens to disrupt this tranquil setting. The engraving hints at debates surrounding progress versus preservation as locals grapple with modernization encroaching upon their cherished traditions. This print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to reflect on how landscapes evolve over time while reminding us of our responsibility to balance progress with respect for history and nature.
