After we had a bountiful buffet breakfast at our Inn on Tuesday the 17th of September, we set out to enjoy a famous view, castle, and epic shopping experience. First stop was The Queen’s View. I copied the following description.
A short drive from Pitlochry, along a winding tree-lined road, hugging the River Tummel, lies the Queen’ s View. This famous vantage point looks out over one of the most iconic panoramas in Scotland, directly to the west along Loch Tummel from where, on a clear day, you can sometimes see the mountains surrounding Glencoe by the West Coast. A popular destination since Victorian times, it is often thought that the location was named after Queen Victoria who did, in fact, visit in 1866 . However, it is more widely believed to have been named after Queen Isabella the 14th century wife of Robert the Bruce who used the spot as a resting place on her travels
Our next stop on this day would be Blair Castle and Gardens where we had two wishes come true.
Do you have a favorite View?
Hello November! That was a quick October…

Great family photos, the scenic views are gorgeous.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy weekend.
What gorgeous photos of the Queen’s View! Lovely photos of you and your family Ellen. Martha Ellen
Oh, I am so much wanting to visit Scotland. Your photos really make want to do so! I love that painting of Queen Victoria, who is the artist?
That isn’t a painting but your photo outside a post office! I love it!!
Kay, I hope it works out for you to visit Scotland some day. It is a wonderful destination. That silhouette of the Queen mailing a letter was outside the visitor’s center (which was closed) next to the parking lot for the Queen’s View. I thought it was charming. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
That view is just so beautiful!
What an outstanding view! Worthy of a frame!
…the Queen’ s View is spectacular!.
That’s some view! An absolutely beautiful part of God’s handiwork.
The pictures of you, Greg and the family are really good.
Have a wonderful weekend, Ellen.
A fabulous post Ellen, from start to finish. I loved the figures of Queen Victoria with the letter in her hand and the real mailbox, and her favorite attendant John Brown holding the umbrella for shade. A very clever rendition. I have a vague memory of the Queen’s View. We caught the once-a-week bus into town – this was 50 plus years ago – from the front of the pub near our camping sight and the bus driver pointed it out to us. The scenery in Scotland is incredible! Thank you for also including the great history. The photos of you with your family all smiling, they are my favorites but it’s hard to pick a favorite in your post. Thank you and Happy 1st Day of November! You’re right, it certainly was a quick October!

The queen’s view is absolutely amazing! There is the Ladies View in Ireland– I’ll be showing it soon on my blog. My favorite view? I still love the beaches in Oregon and California–my favorite views. Willow
