Visit Ballater

Thank you Crathie Primary School for kicking off our jubilee celebrations! 🇬🇧 The children sang the Trooping of the Colour and were the first guests to enjoy our special jubilee afternoon tea!

A sight to behold as the Ballater Pipe Band take to the lawn. 😍 Missed this morning’s performance? Don’t worry, the Ballater Pipe Band will be back at 1pm and 3pm today to continue our Platinum Jubilee celebrations at Balmoral Estate.

The Jubilee Beacon at Balmoral, the Scottish home of the British Royal Family has been lit. 🔥 Over 3,000 Jubilee Beacons will be lit across the UK in recognition of The Queen’s long and selfless service, with the Principal Beacon at Buckingham Palace.
