Old Photograph Ballatrich Scotland
Old photograph of Ballatrich or Ballaterach, a farm house in Glenmuick parish near Ballater, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This is the place where Lord Byron spent part of his boyhood. George Gordon Byron, born 22 January 1788, died 19 April 1824, commonly known simply as Lord Byron, was an Anglo Scottish poet and a leading figure in the Romantic movement. Among his best known works are the lengthy narrative poems Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the short lyric poem She Walks in Beauty. He was the son of Captain John Mad Jack Byron and his second wife, the former Catherine Gordon, a descendant of Cardinal Beaton and heiress of the Gight estate in Aberdeenshire. Byron received his early formal education at Aberdeen Grammar School.
