The Balmoral Estate covers a wide range of landscapes, from the River Dee Valley to the open mountains. There are seven Munros (hills in Scotland over 914,4 m high) on the estate, the highest of which is Lochnagar at 1155 m above sea level.
Lochnagar was the setting for the fairy tale The Old Man of Lochnagar, which the young King Charles III told his younger siblings. In 1980, the story was published and the royalties went to The Prince's Trust.
The estate also includes the 3000-hectare Delnadamph Lodge estate, purchased by Elizabeth II in 1978.
