How to Turn Your Fascination With the Royals Into an Unforgettable Vacation

It was Queen Elizabeth's great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, who built the royal family's Summer residence in Scotland, Balmoral, with her husband Prince Albert.

The home is in a relatively remote area, a seclusion which the royals visit for three months each year. There, they can do the hunting, fishing, and entertaining they enjoy away from prying eyes. They also host parties for staff called Ghillies Balls, and of course the men wear kilts. Both Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip love to take their Land Rovers for spins while at Balmoral, too.
