Photograph of the Upper Fall on the Garr-Valt, near Braemar with a man standing on a wooden footbridge spanning the river. The river flows over boulders. Trees flank the river banks.
The figure on the bridge could be that of George Walker who accompanied Wilson during his 1859 and 1860 photographic tours to Braemar and the Western Isles. Walker observed that during Wilson's photographing the Falls of the Garrawalt in 1859, 'several parties of visitors' would 'drive up, walk round the bridge, look at the photographers, instead of the view, enter the fog house [where they could refresh themselves] and exit.'Provenance
From an album of photographs collected and arranged by Albert, Prince Consort between 1860 and 1861
