Balmoral Castle

Balmoral Castle

Balmoral Castle is Set amongst the magnificent scenery of Royal Deeside, in the shadows of Lochnagar is the Balmoral Estate. Purchased by Queen Victoria in 1848, the Estate has been the Scottish Home of the British Royal Family ever since. Over the past 150 years careful stewardship by the owners, The Royal Family, has preserved the wildlife, scenery and architecture which is available for all generations to enjoy.

The original castle was considered too small for the needs of the Royal Family and under the supervision of Prince Albert a new building was designed.  The new castle was built from granite from the neighbouring quarries of Glen Gelder, which produced a near white stone.
