Balmoral Castle - Purchased by Prince Albert in 1852 for Queen Victoria, Balmoral Castle became the Scottish home of the Royal Family. The Castle was completed in 1856 and the old building was demolished. A commemorative stone in the position of the original front door still remains. Although Balmoral Castle remains largely the same, successive Royal owners have followed Prince Albert’s initiative and made improvements to the estate. 

Highland Steam Railway - The Strathspey Railway invites you to step aboard and celebrate the history of steam travel through the Highlands of Scotland. This ten mile restored section of the original Highland Railway Line enables you to travel back in time to an era when steam whistles blew, carriage doors slammed and there was a familiar click-clack, rhythm of the rails, as the train travels along the track.

Set in the vibrant city of Aberdeen, the Britannia Hotel is a modern, attractive hotel, promising comfortable accommodation and a warm welcome, all amid the striking skyline of the granite city.
