| Summary |
This episode, Tony tells the very personal tale of Victoria and Albert's love of the Scottish mountains. This is also a story of the complete image makeover of an entire nation. Tony heads for Blair Castle, the location of Victoria and Albert's first visit to the Highlands in 1844. The royal couple were soon besotted. The area reminded Albert of his green and mountainous homeland. Tony ends his walk on the shore of Loch Muick where Victoria built a lodge house after Albert's death. The 'widow's house' was also the house her husband had always wanted. (Part 2 of 6) (From the UK) (Documentary) PG CC |
