Glass plate negative of a view of the New Balmoral Castle, taken from the West side. In front of the castle are landscaped grounds and steps leading up to the castle. There are hills in the background, on the far right side of the frame.
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 2160059.
