Edward VII's Passion for Grouse Moor at Balmoral: A Historical Snapshot from 1911 This evocative photograph captures Edward VII, the King-Emperor of Britain and Ireland from 1901 to 1910, during one of his beloved hunting excursions on the Balmoral Estate in Scotland. The year is 1911, and the monarch, dressed in full hunting attire, is shown in mid-air, having just taken flight to pursue the grouse that were abundant on the moorlands. Balmoral Castle, the royal family's Scottish retreat, has been a cherished destination for the British monarchy since it was purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1852. Edward VII, who was known for his love of the great outdoors and hunting, continued the tradition of annual visits to Balmoral. The grouse moors, in particular, were one of his favourite hunting grounds. The image of Edward VII in flight, with his trusty gun at the ready, encapsulates the spirit of the monarch's passion for the sport. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape, the King-Emperor seems at peace, embodying the essence of a bygone era. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the grand events and scenes that unfolded on the Balmoral Estate during the early 20th century. Hunting parties, royal audiences, and leisurely strolls through the picturesque grounds were all part of the rich tapestry of life at Balmoral. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that is both personal and royal. The image of Edward VII on the grouse moor at Balmoral serves as a poignant reminder of the connection between the monarchy and the land, and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
