Balmoral Castle Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Balmoral Castle-where Queen Elizabeth stayed
Balmoral Castle, Aberdeen, Scotland
You can get there either by car or bus (no.201), but I recommend you to go there by car if you have your own car or enough budged to get taxi. It’s because the local bus will take more than 2 hours to get there due to stop more than 100 stops…
The price for the entry fee is around £16 and there are a nice cafe/restaurant with the Queen Elizabeth ll’s pictures on the wall near the castle which will be open until 17:00. #balmoralcastle #aberdeen #scotland
I think it’s still a hidden sightseeing spot, so you will be able to take a lot of nice pictures over there with the beautiful castle as the background.
Balmoral castle- Balmoral Castle
Today I went to the queen's favorite home, Balmoral Castle. Departing from Aberdeen, it took an hour and ten minutes to reach the castle, which is located next to a sunny village. The Dee River at the entrance is rushing and the sound of water is urgent. The end of August and the beginning of September are the days when the royal family comes for vacation, and the castle is not open to the public. I only walked up the mountain on the small road at the entrance. It is said that the villagers who used to live nearby would meet the queen who was walking here. Not far from the main entrance of the castle, there is a small private golf course and a meadow. I don't know if it's the place where the queen used to drive a tractor when she was young.
This small castle has witnessed many major events of the current British royal family and carries countless warm moments of the queen. The time of her childhood should be the days she misses most in her life...
In general, this is a good place for a day trip in Scotland, infinitely close to nature, and then reconcile with yourself, let your heart truly calm down
Beautiful Balmoral
Lovely Autumnal day at one of the late Queens special places.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Scotland
#freehotelstay
Hilton Grand Vacations Resorts don’t have the best reputation in the states, but this location is top notch and one of the favorite Hilton hotels we have ever stayed at. What a great lodge / manor house atmosphere with beautiful large rooms that are well appointed and in exceptional condition. Service throughout the resort was top notch and the restaurant and bar areas were great as well. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was wonderful. Really the only negative is the slightly limited parking near the main building but everything else was perfect!
