Crathie Kirkyard – John Brown’s Grave

Frequented by the Royal Family during their stays in Balmoral Castle, the Craithie Kirk has a tenured history with the Crown dating back centuries. Many of the Royal’s decorated servants have been laid to rest in the Kirkyard, including Queen Victoria’s famed highland servant John Brown. Brown and Victoria’s relationship is an elusive aspect of British history, with historians and filmmakers alike providing their own speculations to fill in the gaps.
