As befitting its name, Royal Deeside has deep regal connections, including Balmoral Castle, the royal family’s Scottish residence. This area has more castles per square mile than almost any place in Scotland! From early medieval ruins to Victorian opulence, there is so much to tickle your castle fancy. You’ll want to spend a few days here, enjoying the well-appointed and lush accommodation of your motorhome and exploring the various castles, gardens, kirks and villages- and be sure to nip over to the Royal Lochnagar Distillery for a wee dram! For a bit of Highland culture, pop into any one of the delightful pubs for a chinwag with the locals and traditional music.
Motorhome Hire & Balmoral Castle
Balmoral Castle is definitely a highlight of a visit to Royal Deeside. Called “my dear paradise in the Highlands” by Queen Victoria, you will find your own paradise among the splendid grounds, gardens and exhibitions. (Note: some portions of the castle are closed from August to early October when the Royal family is in residence.)
Choose from several other beautiful castles and gardens in the area-visit one, two, or all of them if you care to! Our favourites? Drum Castle, Braemar Castle, Craigievar Castle, and Crathes Castle, Garden and Estate.
