Thank you, what an awesome tour. I am 88 and permanently living in a nursing home in East Texas. With a lot of free time on my hand. This was a real treat for me! I visited And toured London in June, 1981. Loved every moment of it . i have also been interested in the Royals since 1952: as my oldest son was born in MARCH OF THAT YEAR.THE year of Queen’s Coronation. I knew nothing of the history of this castle. 😅I sincerely thank you for the historical tour and lectures!
Oh man. ❤lady you are my inspiration. you are 88 years young. I love that you use RU-vid can navigate the Internet. Living in a nursing home and still have a grateful and young heart. I really want to be like you at that age. ❤
Today is a sad day as Queen Elizabeth has passed away here at age 96, this day September 8, 2022. Thank you so much for providing a glimpse of the place she so dearly loved. Blessings to you.
Thank you, it was so lovely today to see where the Queen has spent her final days. We miss her already. We mourn with The Royal Family and Great Britain at this time. Saying Hello from Australia. When I retrace my ancestry in Scotland I will be sure walk one of these trails at Balmoral.
We visited Balmoral last year. There is so much wonderful history here and I have read a lot about it and seen pictures,but to be there was just fabulous. I am an American,born in England , with Scottish blood in my DNA , AND I just loved it. Truly a dream come true.
I can see why the Queen loved this location. Thank you for the video. I've only ever seen a photo of the castle and never realized how much the surrounding area is like the woods and meadows of western Oregon (USA). I'm glad she had a place to retreat to each year... to leave behind most of her daily responsibilities and the noise of the city. Miss her already. God bless the Queen and God save the King. - With love from America
What a lovely place! I never expected this castle to have such lush green forests and gardens and even mountains? surrounding it...The whole place has a secluded and restful feel to it, but remains stately ...No wonder The Queen loved spending her time here...She probably didn't have many opportunities to be out in nature and have some privacy. RIP Your majesty. Your 70 years of tireless public service will forever be remembered!
I'm leaving on a trip to the UK October 1st 2022. Will start in London and end in Edinburgh. I sure to enjoy some goreous scenery. My last time in the UK was back in 1988, so it's been quiet some time.
Beautiful, peaceful place. I’d sit by the river every chance I had.. No wonder the Queen stayed there for months. And yes, the movie Mrs. Brown was very good!
I was lucky enough to go on a tour when I was in the military stationed in Germany. My grandfather sounded about the same as this gentleman. Over the years in the US, he lost some of it. I never got tired of listening to him telling me stories about Edinburgh.
Another American here from Illinois, beautiful grounds and trees leading up to the castle. I can understand why the Queen loved Balmoral so much. What a peaceful place to live in. I don't enjoy living like a sardine or little fish on a tin can, but I'm not royal. Beautiful video also & I love the accent of the narrator. I did see the movie about John Brown it was excellent.
Beautiful place, I can see why Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed it so much. The lay of the land reminds me of where I live in Oregon state USA. Condolences to all regarding the News of the Queen today.
@@harmony3395 You can only visit the Ballroom inside but you can make a nice walk through the park and go along the Dee River...it's a wonderful place.
Lived in Banchory for 5 years and drove past Balmoral many times, on the way to lovely hikes, seen the Highland games and around the loch where the Queen Mother had a residence. What great memories of Scotland and he friends we made.
Having seen this, I understand why Queen Elizabeth loves it so much. Balmoral is so special! I love youtube because I get to see places like this, places I will never see in person. You can't help but wonder what the castle looks like inside. I will bet it is awesome. What a life that family has lived. I hope their hearts are worthy of it. I know I would love it....
I hear you LOUD AND CLEAR about places that you'll never see in person. It takes A LOT OF MONEY and the vast majority of us Americans can't and won't be able to afford the trip.
Is no one else asking what she died of ??? I’m Scottish 🏴 and I also live where she died in beloved Scotland, where she rests in Edinburgh. I don’t know about anyone else- but it strikes me her sudden death Doesn’t make sense - how she died 48 hours after being seen so healthy. She also was in great form at weekend with guest Rev Iain Greenshields for lunch on Saturday and dinner on Sunday. He gave her a wooden cross as he departed. Which she accepted. Then she worked Tuesday reviving old and new PM…/!:The she’s suddenly dead. No cause Of death nothing. All very fishy. What did she die of. Why no hospital intervention. What are we not told what she died of. Mobility issues don’t kill you in 48 hours!!! Anyone know anything about this ??? With Thanks x
@@AyeWitness The dear lady was 96 increasingly frail & doing less. Some are saying The Queen had bone cancer, maybe her majesty did & did not want it talked about. May peace of mind rest with everyone.
Nice wee video. I visited a few years ago and fell in love with Balmoral. Such a gorgeous setting and peaceful. The grounds are gorgeous and the trees are amazing! I could definitely live there too if I had the chance. Thank you.
Thank you for this tour I would love to visit one day. I can see now why the queen loved it at balmoral so much. It was the only place she had a sence of freedom. Loved our queen elizabeth II ❤
Thank you so very much for your most interesting video: Myself growing up in Belfast had a Scottish uncle Jo (Joesph) Whereby my cousins , my brothers , myself spent so many lovely School holidays touring the cities of Glasgow Edinburgh Helensborough I love my memories of the Beautiful Scottish Landscapes. Mary Canada 🍁
I think the Scottish countryside is beautiful. Unfortunately, the closest I will ever come is to it is through my Cairn Terrier. I loved this tour of the grounds. Thanks so much!
My maternal great grandmother was born at Balmoral ca. 1841 before Albert bought it. Her father was a gamekeeper. She turns up in Nova Scotia in the 1861 census.
Such a beautiful place, Scotland is so beautiful and green so much history too. My paternal Grandfather was born and raised in Scotland. I’ve never been but I would love to come visit one day.
Very nice tour. I visited more than 40 years ago, in that time you could only see the castle through the gates and then visit the Kirk the Royal family goes to. Beautiful scenery.... .
Her Majesty has lovely homes and we visited this one in the early 80’s. We even got to see HRH at the Highland Games along with Charles and Diana and other Royals
So basically just a Victorian era vanity project lol - wondering now about the former structure. Balmoral Castle is only a decade older than my house. I'm glad they let the public enjoy the grounds. Nice place for the Queen to check out of. Thanks for the tour.
It is so wonderful that there are a lot of trees near the castle ,some of the trrees seem to be from other mainlands and make the overall setting so spellbindingly pretty !!!
