Tour of Balmoral Castle & Royal Lochnagar Distillery Starting from Inverness
Before visiting the castle, we’ll pause at Crathie Kirk Church for a short half-hour breather, then proceed to the Balmoral Estate.
As of 2020, the estate parks, botanical gardens, displays, souvenir shop, and the cafe will be available for visiting every day from April 1 until July 31. The visiting hours are 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., but please keep in mind the last suggested entry time is at 4.30 p.m.
We advise dedicating at least ninety minutes for exploring Balmoral. This will let you tour the parkland, botanical gardens, exhibits, souvenir store, and the Pipers Hall Cafe.
You’ll be able to explore the formal and kitchen gardens, the displays in the riding house, and the biggest chamber in the Castle, the Ballroom.
An audio guide tour is also available, offering versions in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Please note the audio tour is only accessible for enrolments before 4.30 p.m.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
