Description
Exterior portrait of missionary staff at rest in Dalhousie. Two sit around a table and Miss Isabella Plumb lies in the crook of a tree in the background. The Church of Scotland acquired several properties in Dalhouise and the house, called Betrie View, was used as a retreat. ❧ Dalhousie was established as a British summer retreat and sanatorium in 1854 and named after the then British Viceroy in India. It is built on five hills and located on the western edge of the Dhauladhar mountain range of the Himalayas. It is considered a gateway to the Chamba district and the city of Chamba lies to the north. ❧ Chamba was an independent princely state and came under British influence in 1848. It now forms part of Himachal Pradesh.
