Balmoral Castle Maintenance and Scaffolding Update
If you are planning to visit Balmoral during May 2025, please be aware that the front of the castle is undergoing important maintenance, and scaffolding will be in place.
The Balmoral Works Department is re-pointing the castle to protect it from rain and snow. This technique is used to fill the gaps between stones or bricks in construction with lime mortar.
Due to the nature of lime mortar setting, the castle maintenance can only take place during the Spring and Summer seasons, owing to the temperatures and the challenges of being 1,000 feet above sea level.
Please follow our social media channels for further updates as the work progresses.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
