Old Photographs Bridge Street Ballater Scotland
Old photograph of Bridge Street in Ballater, Royal Deeside, Scotland. Balmoral Castle, the British Royal Family's holiday home, lies to the West, and the family has visited the town frequently since the time of Queen Victoria. Birkhall lies to the South West of Ballater. Victoria Barracks is used by the Royal Guard for the castle. Local stores had for decades Royal Warrants bestowed upon them. Five years after the passing of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who had granted them, the warrants lapsed and, to the chagrin of many townsfolk and especially shop owners, were removed. Several shops still display the arms marking the royal warrant.
