The Queen Mother's Picnic House

This house sits close to the house with the hanging chimney and is known locally as The Queen Mother's Picnic House. When visiting Balmoral, she loved to come to this remote house, with amazing views over towards Lochnagar, for picnics! It wasn't owned by her, but rented from the Estate for her use.

How interesting….it looks very simple & if it has a view too what more could you want? I know the Royal family love their picnics! I suppose they got there by Landrover.

What a lovely isolated place for the Queen Mother to escape to. Like it in b&w

[Ann H. LeFevre]

How pretty- well of course if the queen wants to use your cottage for a picnic, who can say "No"? Beautiful black and white.
