Balmoral Castle
Balmoral Castle is the Royal Family's summer home. It is said that Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone on 28 September 1853, during her annual autumn visit. Balmoral Castle is built from granite quarried at Invergelder on the estate.
Crathie Kirk
It was to this church that Queen Victoria came in 1848 on coming to Balmoral Castle. This began the custom, which continues to this day, of members of the Royal Family and their guests worshipping with local people in the parish church. Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone of the present church in 1893 and the new church was completed and dedicated in 1895. Funds for the new building were raised by subscription and gifts from parishioners and members of the public. A gift of £2,000 was made by Queen VIctoria's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Louise who raised the money at a Bazaar held in the grounds of Balmoral Castle.
