Welcome to Balmoral Castle & Estate
Balmoral Castle has been the Scottish home of the Royal Family since it was purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852, having been first leased in 1848.
Queen Elizabeth II (1926 - 2022)
On 8th September 2022 The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral.
Floral tributes can be placed at the designated area outside the Main Gates of Balmoral.
We would request that you remove any cellophane wrappping before laying the tributes - this will allow the flowers to last longer and help with maintaining them.
