[print this page] Balmoral was bought by Queen Victoria and Albert in 1848, at which stage they paid 30,000 for it and then the pioneering Albert embarked upon improving the castle which dated back to the 14th century. In 1852, they carried out the local traditional cairn building ritual. This tradition involves the laying of one rock onto another to create a mound. This establishes the claim to their land, then a piper plays and Victoria and Albert danced and drank whisky. Today Balmoral remains a favourite residence of Queen Elizabeth II.
