Balmoral Castle is the Scottish holiday home to the Royal Family. The grounds, gardens and exhibitions are now open daily, until the 11th August 2024. Admission charges apply.

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.

You can also purchase hot and cold refreshments in the Restaurant, where the menu celebrates a wonderful range of local and Scottish produce.
We recommend that you set aside at least one and a half hours for your visit to Balmoral, to give you time to visit the grounds, gardens, gift shop and the coffee shop.
