Photograph from an album of Allt-na-Giubhsach house on the Balmoral estate, located close to Loch Muick. Two ground floor houses stand side by side. A man holding a shotgun stands outside the building on the left, whilst the building on the right comprises a turf roof, three chimneys and a wooden lattice porch covering the entrance. Trees surround the houses wit gardens to the front.
Originally comprising a single cottage with a sod covered roof constructed for deer watcher, and described by Queen Victoria as 'The Hut', Alltnaguibhsaich grew to include a second building constructed in 1849 and that can be seen standing on the left.
