Tour Scotland short 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of a statue of Queen Victoria on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the grounds of Balmoral Castle, Royal Deeside, Britain, United Kingdom. The statue is a life size bronze portrait of Queen Victoria in ceremonial attire, holding an orb and sceptre. The statue was commissioned by the tenants and servants of Balmoral, Abergeldie, and Birkhall, along with the Queen's household staff from Crathie, to commemorate her 50th year on the throne. It was created by the sculptor Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm and unveiled by Queen Victoria herself on October 6, 1887. Queen Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. Her 63-year rule, known as the Victorian era, was a period of immense industrial, political, and social change that saw the vast expansion of the British Empire.
