Balmoral Castle was purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852. Since then, the grounds have been open to the public during the summer before the Royal Family arrives. This year the grounds, gardens and exhibitions at Balmoral will be open to the public from May 4th until August 11th.
The Castle will also be open to the public for limited tours.
From the Balmoral Castle website: "For the first time since the castle was completed in 1855, we have been granted permission to take you on a private tour with our experienced guides. They will take you on a historical journey through several of the beautiful rooms within Balmoral Castle.
You will learn about the origins of the Castle and how it has been loved by generations of the Royal family. Travel through time from the purchase of the Balmoral by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, through to present day, where you can see how rooms within the Castle are used today by their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family.
You will see why Balmoral is such a special place - the much-loved and celebrated Highland home of the Royal Family"
The exclusive tours will be available from 1st July until 4th August and are restricted to 10 people per tour.
The tour prices are :
Castle Interior Tour £100.00
Castle Interior Tour with Afternoon Tea £150.00 (Adult-only experience)
