Our intended route takes us from Braemar to Ballater passing by but not visiting Balmoral Castle.

However just recently somebody mentioned that there is a £10 charge to transit through the estate.

A quick check of the Balmoral website seems to indicate that the charge is for visiting the castle although it is not entirely clear.

Anybody have any definitive information.

Thanks

There can be, I think, a charge to enter the area around the castle but this is easily by-passed by turning right at the gates (NO245939) and walking to Easter Balmoral on the track. The gates are not always personed (that's me being PC for once) so you can sometimes just walk through without charge.

Thank you

Obviously a person sweet by nature if not by name

Last May I walked through the estate.

I found some nice little pile that did me scones with cream and jam, well I was on holiday. The little woman who served me was very nice, too.

So, there shouldn't be a problem.

Well one does try one's best.....

Hi Liz!
:-)
I wonder if you remember me?
I was the one who wasn't driving the Bomag or the JCB

The day I met Liz

Did the same as Gordon and it did'nt cost me a penny. ('cept for the cream tea).

Wandered through Balmoral last year - no probs....and no charge!
