Balmoral

Balmoral Castle and it’s 50,000-acre estate has been the private Highland retreat of The Royal Family since the 1850s.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert fell in love with the Scottish Highlands in the 1840s and built the present Grade A listed castle in 1856, one of the very favourite homes of The Royal Family ever since, hosting kings, queens, tsars, kaisers, statesmen, prime ministers and many others.
Much of the interior of the castle can now be visited together with a new restaurant, café, visitor centre and shop.
Well-marked footpaths allow visitors to walk over much of the estate, with its astonishing views of one of the most beautiful and wild parts of Scotland.

A unique guide and gift book to be treasured.
