Balmoral
Royal highland retreat
Balmoral is a Scottish estate in Aberdeenshire, a private residence of the British royal family since Queen Victoria purchased it in 1852.
The castle and grounds have become synonymous with royal holidays and informal retreats: The Queen traditionally spent summers at Balmoral. (Lowercase balmoral is a style of boot or Scottish cap.)
