Private Balmoral Walking Tour to Queens Secret Cabin & the Castle

We will collect you from your accommodation in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire and take you the tour.

We cross the world famous 18th century Invercauld Bridge into the Ballochbuie Forest to start our walk.

Buried deep in the Ballochbuie Forest (a magnificent example of an ancient Caledonian Pine Forest and part of the Queens’ Balmoral Estate in Royal Deeside) lies the “Honka House”. This building, complete with sauna, was a gift from the people of Finland for the Queens silver wedding anniversary and has been a favourite picnic and BBQ spot for the Royal Family ever since. The walk continues to the stunning Falls of Garbh Allt. Queen Victoria (who loved to sketch there) had a beautiful iron bridge installed in 1878 and it is still in use today.

We visit the world famous Scottish Family Residence. Please note the castle in not open all year and we visit other castles or a Whisky Distillery during its closed period (which is normally mid August to start of October). Please contact us for dates.

An amazing 16th century masterpiece which we may visit if Balmoral Castle is closed.
