Old Balmoral Castle
Oct 1854RCIN 2083970
Glass plate negative of the exterior of Balmoral Castle, Deeside prior to its demolition on the completion of the new castle in 1856. A conservatory stands on the right and the tower with turrets on the left, stepped back from the main building.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2906171.
