Set amongst the magnificent scenery of Royal Deeside, in the shadows of Lochnagar, is the Balmoral Estate. The estate extends to just over 50,000 acres of heather-clad hills, ancient Caledonian woodland and of course the beautiful River Dee nearby. See inside one of the Queen’s residences, visit the ballroom and the formal and vegetable gardens, or enjoy an audio-visual display. Other activities on the estate include pony-trekking, a Land Rover safari, guided walks, fishing and trailer rides.
