In her journals Queen Victoria described Balmoral as "my dear paradise in the Highlands" - we hope you will feel the same way about Balmoral once you have visited this most special place.The grounds, gardens and exhibitions will be open on a daily basis from Sunday 1st April until Tuesday 31st July 2012.Facilities include large gift shop, café and audio tours. « less
