Birkhall, a mansion in Glenmuick parish, Aberdeenshire, on the left bank of the Muick, 2¼ miles SW of Ballater. A fine old house, purchased by the late Prince Consort from the Abergeldie family, it now belongs to the Prince of Wales; the estate is beautifully wooded, and on it is a girls' school, built by the Queen. A wire suspension bridge, 80 feet in span, was thrown over the Muick before the house in 1880, eight wooden bridges having been swept away during the 32 years before.
