Located in the Kanegom Mountain National Park, the Royal Di River Valley Disai and the Locknagar Mountain National Scenic Area (the Deeside and Lochnagar National Scenic Area), Balmoral Fort covers 50,000 acres (about 20,000 hectares), containing a variety of landscapes, mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery. The castle and manor house consists of stone-covered hills and ancient Scottish woodland, surrounded by mountains and flowing rivers, extremely elegant. Due to the arrival of the royals, the Fort Balmoral has been continuously expanded and the facilities have gradually been complete. During her reign, Queen Victoria designed and built the royal hunting grounds herself, and the rest included farmland, gardens, pastures, a large number of beautiful flowers, and herds of deer, highland cattle, and ponies.

Braemar Castle It is very distinctive in countless castles in the UK, because the structure of the barrel is relatively special, it seems that the shape of Lego toys is very interesting, the display inside is also good, it is worth visiting slowly.

Stone-Ston, whose defensive walls have the reputation of "Europe's Great Wall of China", only an hour walk to visit the town! The ruins are broken, but the world is independent by the sea, and the beauty is crying. Here you can feel the residential houses in the old castle and maintain the medieval atmosphere of life.

The castle was built in the 14th century AD and was the property of the Scottish royal family. In 1372, Sir John Leon of the British family married the daughter of the then King of Scotland and inherited the castle, which has been more than 600 years old. Since then, the castle has officially become the private estate of the Leon family, and was rebuilt by the famous architect of the Leon family, Patrick • Leon. From the early 17th century, Patrick Leon developed a detailed plan for the castle renovation and made some bold designs, such as raising the tower and laying a boulevard leading to the main entrance. The converted castle blends Scottish and French styles: A group of French Normandy-style corner towers surround the classical Scottish towers.

We booked the 2.5 hour clansman & castle freedom cruise. This tour departed from Clansman Harbour to cruise across the dark waters of Loch Ness and 1 hour exploration of the Urquhart Castle ruins site. Great adventure! 👍🏻

Crees Castle and its surrounding area cover a total area of 2.1 square kilometers, including 16,000 square meters of walled gardens. A 16th century castle, a 20th century art garden, Crees Castle Garden is known as "West Singhurst (Sissinghurst) in Scotland". Since the end of the 16th century, the ancient building has stood alone in the jungle wilderness, faithfully guarding the Burnett family. After entering the 20th century, Sir James Burnett built a garden here, surrounded by walls, full of trees, beautiful flowers and plants. The lush trees and blooming flowers surrounded the castle of Cress, entering here, as if entering the fairy tale kingdom of dreams, can spread all the beautiful imagination of a person.

Fawi Castle Fyvie Castle. This is also the property of the Scottish commissioned foundation, so there are no indoor photos. It is said that the earliest Fawi Castle was built between 1211 and 1214 by William the Lion of Scotland. King Bruce also came here, and Charles I spent his childhood in this castle. After 1390, it was no longer a royal industry. Every time the owner changed, the new owner built a tower. The things inside were worth a lot. There are also large spiral staircases, armor weapons of the year, and portrait collections worth seeing. There is also a garden inside the east wall.
