EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Prince Edward, later King Edward VII, in the prime of his life during a deer-stalking excursion in the Scottish Highlands in 1881. As the Prince of Wales, Edward was known for his love of the great outdoors and hunting, which he pursued avidly throughout his life. In this scene, he is seen in traditional Scottish attire, complete with tartan kilt and sporran, as he carefully scans the rugged terrain of Lochnagar for signs of game. The serene beauty of the Scottish landscape is on full display in this image, with the mist-shrouded mountains and rolling hills providing a picturesque backdrop to the Prince's hunt. The natural splendor of the Highlands was a favorite destination for the British aristocracy, who sought refuge from the hustle and bustle of urban life and the political intrigues of court. Deer-stalking was a popular pastime among the nobility, and the Prince was no exception. The sport required a great deal of skill and patience, as the hunter had to approach the animal silently and without detection in order to get within range for a clean shot. The success of the hunt was often determined by the hunter's ability to read the signs left by the deer, such as their tracks and droppings, as well as their knowledge of the animal's behavior and habits. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British monarchy and the aristocracy were deeply connected to the land and the natural world. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape our understanding of royalty and the outdoors, and serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Scottish Highlands as a destination for those seeking adventure and tranquility.
