Crathie Kirk and Manse, 1850. Creator: Unknown
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

Crathie Kirk and Manse, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 1850: A Breathtaking View of Scotland's Rural Past This image, taken from the private grounds at Balmoral, showcases the picturesque Manse and Kirk of Crathie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The small, square Kirk, slightly elevated on a knoll, is seen from a distance, exuding a sense of tranquility and serenity. The scene transports us back in time to the 19th century, an era of rustic charm and religious devotion. The Kirk, a humble place of Christian worship, was a regular attendance for Queen Victoria. Even in the face of inclement weather, such as the stormy day described in the Illustrated London News, her Majesty's commitment to her faith remained unwavering. The ground, drenched with rain, was a challenge for her to navigate, but a plaid was spread on the ground to ensure her safe passage. The Manse, or vicarage, nestled nearby, is a quaint, rustic building, reminiscent of the simple lifestyle of the Scottish Highlands. The landscape is dotted with sheep grazing in the lush, green countryside, adding to the idyllic scene. This engraving, created by William Henry Fisk, is a testament to the beauty and charm of rural Scotland, and a reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the people and their faith during the Victorian era. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures and enduring values of a bygone era.
