Neighbouring Balmoral Castle, Royal Lochnagar is the perfect place to discover how Scotch Whisky is made. Watch as our team of operators tend to our traditional mashtun, gleaming copper stills and fill casks at our traditional distillery, which retains much of its original charm. The tour ends with a dram of the award-winning Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old Single Highland Malt. Please note we are closed 25th, 26th, 31st December and 1st-2nd January inclusive.

This glorious castle is the Scottish home of the British Royal Family. For a few months during the year (usually from April through July), you can explore its grounds, gardens, and exhibitions. Go on one of the waymarked walks or take an audio tour to learn about the area's history. The castle itself is off-limits, save for the ballroom which has been converted into an exhibition space. Before leaving, pop by the cafe for some tea and the gift shop for souvenirs. Explore the estate on a tour of the Royal Deeside, which typically covers all admission fees and transport. – Tripadvisor
