The audio tour is also available for admissions before 4.00 p.m.

Please note that all other rooms within the Castle are not available to the public as these are Her Majesty The Queen's private rooms.

Switch or American Express.

Company vouchers are accepted by arrangement. Coach parking is available within the Estate Grounds.

 

Balmoral lies within the boundaries of The Cairngorms National Park.

The Cairngorms was made a National Park in September 2003 because it is a unique and special place that needs to be cared for - both for the wildlife and countryside it contains and for the people that live in it, manage it and visit it. It is Britain's largest national Park.

The Cairngorms National Park has the largest area of arctic mountain landscape in the UK at its heart, with diverse communities around it.

It is home to 17,000 people and 25% of Britain's threatened birds, animals, and plants. It includes moorlands, forests, rivers, lochs and glens.
