Delving back in time and following the footsteps of Queen Victoria to visit some of the cairns she built for her family on hills near Balmoral Castle.
While walking through the tranquil woods we will encounter great views of the Castle and over the Estate to make the hills worth the effort. Plenty of history and conservation projects of the estate to discuss along the way.
