Our Highland Home: Victoria and Albert in the Highlands

This book, which will accompany an exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh in March 2005, explores Queen Victoria’s and her husband Prince Albert’s love affair with Scotland. Their early journeys to Scotland, including visits to Dalkeith Palace, Taymouth Castle and Dumbarton will be examined, as well as their stays at Balmoral, to which they formed a deep attachment. The author, Jeanne Cannizzo, illuminates the private side of the royal couple’s life away from their public life in London. Our Highland Home: Victoria and Albert in Scotland includes images from the collections of the National Galleries of Scotland, the Royal Collection Trust, and many public and private collections throughout the United Kingdom.
