Balmoral Estate

Balmoral Estate

The Balmoral Estate is the Scottish home to the British Royal Family. The estate is open to the public from April to the end of July each year. Visitors can enjoy an audio tour, included in the admission charge which guides them around the gardens, grounds and exhibitions of this unique Highland estate. The coffee shop on site seats 100 and serves light snacks and meals with a Highland flavour along with the gift shop which has both gifts with a Scottish and Royal theme. Visitors who would like to stay longer on the estate can book one of our 6 holiday cottages with the unique privilege of being able to play on the Balmoral 9 hole golf course. Salmon fishing is available on the river Dee which flows through the estate. The Queens Highland and Fell ponies are available for pony trekking throughout the open season and we offer a series of 2hr, day, evening and even two day trail rides. Wildlife safaris are also on offer with the Ranger Service; a fantastic way to explore the scenery and wildlife of this special place.
