    Hiking

    The Queen’s Scottish residence of Balmoral Castle
    is impressive enough by itself, but the wooded
    hills around it are dotted with spectacular cairns.
    Most were established by Queen Victoria and
    are dedicated to her loved ones, including her
    beloved husband Prince Albert and most of her
    grandchildren. They are linked by walking trails and
    each one offers a commanding view over the estate and Royal Deeside.
