Edinburgh to Inverness

Clan MacWalz in the Scottish Highlands.

This was a long driving day, but the reward was a visit to Balmoral Castle. Balmoral was bought by Queen Victoria for 30,000 guineas in 1852, after its owner choked to death on a fishbone. The castle was rebuilt in the Scottish Baronial style at Prince Albert's request. It is the summer home of the British Royal Family, although it has been associated with royalty since the time of Robert the Bruce.
