Balmoral Castle - Purchased by Prince Albert in 1852 for Queen Victoria, Balmoral Castle became the Scottish home of the Royal Family. The Castle was completed in 1856 and the old building was demolished. A commemorative stone in the position of the original front door still remains. Although Balmoral Castle remains largely the same, successive Royal owners have followed Prince Albert’s initiative and made improvements to the estate.
Crathes Castle – Standing against a backdrop of rolling hills and set within its own glorious gardens, Crathes Castle is classic Scottish tower house – and a fantastic day out for all the family. Explore this magnificent 16th-century castle, with its intricate maze of turrets, towers, oak panels and painted ceilings, set among sculpted yew trees and nature trails. wander through the historic walled garden and admire the iconic yew hedges, planted as early as 1702.
Aberdeen is rich in history from its maritime past. It's where the harbour meets the city centre and is famous for its stunning architecture and ancient charm. It’s also known as the ‘Granite City’ and is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Aberdeenshire, with its forests, mountains and attractive coastline. The locally quarried grey granite can be found sparkling within buildings, as the sun catches the glittering mica crystals.
