Queen Victoria's Highland Tour Stirring Yet Desolate Highlands
The royal visit to Fort William and Oban region highlights a landscape of sheep pastures and abandoned strongholds, contrasting royal curiosity with critique of Highland depopulation by ducal clearances. The journey includes a dramatic yacht passage, Breadalbane boat pageantry, and scenes around Easdale, Seil, Gylen Castle, and Loch Linnhe, as the Queen observes historic ruin and rural life.
