Royal Seal of Approval
The area has awed generations of visitors – and one of its more famous admirers was Queen Victoria herself, who was so taken with the area that she built Balmoral Castle, calling it “my dear paradise in the Highlands”. The area is known as Royal Deeside and there are many royal connections to be found.

Royal Deeside, Royal Connections
Follow in the footsteps of royalty at the Balmoral Estate, the Scottish holiday home of the present-day Royal Family. Superb panoramas and attractive grounds abound, with guided Ranger walks and luxury safaris available to spot wildlife and learn more about the estate.
Visit the skillfully restored Old Train Station at Ballater or the Royal Deeside Railway at Milton of Crathes, both of which have served the British Monarchy. Jump onboard for fun heritage train rides at Royal Deeside Railway.
Finish your regal adventures with a well-deserved dram at Royal Lochnagar Distillery, which impressed Queen Victoria and Prince Albert so much that they bestowed a ‘By Royal Appointment’ warrant on it.
