Appearing in Punch in 1844, the present drawing is likely to have coincided with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s visit to Blair Castle in September of that year. Victoria and Albert first visited Scotland together in 1842 and returned in 1844, staying at Blair Castle, near the village of Blair Atholl for three weeks.
