Squirrel Cam
At Balmoral we have some very special residents - our red squirrels.
The red squirrel is one of Scotlands favourite mammals but it is declining in numbers and classified as an endangered species. However at Balmoral we are lucky to have several scurries of squirrels living and you can watch them feeding.
