The parish of Braemar and Crathie has been a playground of Kings and nobles of the land since the dawn of Scottish history. In the village are the ruins of the great castle of Kindrochit ("The Head of the Bridge"). After your free time in the village reboard your coach for the short journey to Balmoroal Castle.


Balmoral Castle is the Scottish home of the Royal Family. Open to the public for only a few weeks a year, visit this fabulous and world-famous castle, which has been a favorite Royal Retreat since 1848. Enjoy a special tour of the Castle, perhaps pick up some Royal souvenirs at the castle shop. After your tour of the Royal Highland Retreat rejoin your coach for the return journey to your ship.
