Balmoral Castle
Balmoral Castle
The Deeside is most famous for Balmoral Castle and the long history with the Royal family who have loved this area for generations. There are stunning views of the hills and mountains as well as fields of heather with the scenic river Dee flowing through it.
Balmoral Castle & Estate is the Queen’s private country retreat in Scotland and a beloved home since Queen Victoria & Prince Albert. You’ll hear stories from people who visited and worked at Balmoral as they guide you around the estate. We highly recommend the audio tour!
