Balmoral Castle
circa 1930: Balmoral Castle, a Royal residence on the River Dee in Aberdeenshire. Queen Victorias husband, Prince Albert, purchased Balmoral Castle in 1846, and the small castle which stood in the 7, 000 hectare wooded estate was redeveloped in the 1850s.The granite building was designed by Aberdeen architect William Smith with suggestions from Albert himself, who decided the interior decoration should represent a Highland shooting box with tartan or thistle chintzes, and walls decorated with trophies and weapons. Queen Victoria often visited the Highlands with her family, especially after Albertfs death in 1861, and Balmoral is still a popular retreat for the present royal family.

Balmoral Castle - A Royal Highland Retreat
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Balmoral Castle, nestled on the banks of the River Dee in Aberdeenshire. Dating back to around 1930, this image showcases a historic royal residence that has played an integral role in British history. Originally purchased by Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's beloved husband, in 1846, Balmoral Castle underwent significant redevelopment under their watchful eyes. Designed by Aberdeen architect William Smith with input from Prince Albert himself, the granite building was transformed into a majestic symbol of Scottish heritage. Inside its walls, one can imagine the regal interior decoration envisioned by Prince Albert. The rooms were adorned with tartan or thistle chintzes representing a traditional Highland shooting box. Trophies and weapons proudly adorned the walls, reflecting both the royal family's love for hunting and their connection to Scotland's rich cultural heritage. Balmoral Castle held special significance for Queen Victoria following her husband's untimely death in 1861. She frequently sought solace within its tranquil surroundings alongside her family. Even today, it remains a cherished retreat for generations of royals who continue to find respite amidst its sprawling 7,000-hectare wooded estate. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by Fox Photos/Getty Images and brought to life through Fine Art Storehouse prints, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and timeless beauty of Balm
