EDITORS COMMENTS
A Timeless Tradition: The Duke and Duchess of York's Grouse Shoot at Glamis Castle, 1936 The cover of the September 18, 1936 issue of Tatler magazine showcases a captivating photograph of the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, with their young daughter, Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth II), and the Duchess's father, Lord Strathmore, engaged in a grouse shoot at the magnificent Glamis Castle in Forfarshire, Scotland. The Duke and Duchess, dressed in formal hunting attire, are seen in the foreground, with the Duke wearing a traditional Scottish kilt and tartan jacket. Princess Elizabeth, just 12 years old at the time, is pictured in a charming floral dress and holding a shotgun, demonstrating her enthusiasm and eagerness to learn the family tradition. Lord Strathmore, the Duke's father-in-law, stands behind them, also dressed in hunting gear. Glamis Castle, the ancient and esteemed estate of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, provides a breathtaking backdrop for the family outing. The rugged terrain, dotted with heather and gorse, and the vast expanse of the Scottish countryside, add to the sense of tradition and heritage that surrounds the royal family. The photograph encapsulates the essence of a cherished family moment, as well as the enduring connection between the British monarchy and the Scottish countryside. The Duke and Duchess's love for the outdoors and their dedication to passing on the grouse shooting tradition to their daughter are evident in this timeless image.
