Here in the Highlands lies the summer residence of the English royal family: Balmoral Castle. The castle is located in the middle of a huge park. The walk from the forged entrance gate to the castle alone takes 15-20 minutes, past giant trees 🌳 , lawns and flowerbeds 🌺 🌸 🌼 🌷 . When you turn the corner and see the castle in front of you for the first time, it is a breathtaking sight. The kitchen gardens are only cultivated for the royal family's 12-week visit. It is precisely at this time that the countless varieties of fruit and vegetables, lettuce and cabbage, berries and turnips are ready to be harvested. A sea of flowers, of all types and colours, is also grown for the purpose of decorating the private rooms of the royal family. An audio guide is included in the entrance fee, which guides you through the gardens in an informative way. The garden itself is very formal and clearly structured and was planned by Queen Mary. The Victorian-style greenhouse made a lasting impression on me! Kisses 😘
