Queen Victoria’s Highland Journals cover the period from 1848 to 1882 and provide a fascinating insight into those long “never-to-be-forgotten days” she spent with her family in her much beloved Scottish Highlands.

Published privately for her family and a few close friends, the Queen was persuaded by a close relative to reissue the journal for the pleasure of her subjects where it became an immediate bestseller.
