Balmoral Castle has been the Scottish home of the Royal Family since it was purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852, so we can not expect less then excellent. The Castle is an example of Scots Baronial architecture and is classified by Historic Scotland.
In 1931, the castle gardens were opened to the public for the first time and they now are open daily between April and the end of July, after which Queen Elizabeth arrives for her annual stay. The ballroom is the only room in the castle that may be viewed by the public. Also interesting is that since 1987 an illustration of the castle has been featured on the reverse side of 100 pounds notes issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
