Lovely. We had planned to visit here when we were in Grantown. Then the snow came down and scuppered our plans!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

What a beautiful place. You were very lucky to get such a lovely blue sky and sunshine for your visit 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Safe onward travels 🚐 Trev n Sue

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, picked the right day there!

[@christinehodge3608]

Absolutely beautiful place, and Poppy loved her walk,lovely walk,

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

Very impressive i never knew you could go there. I can imagine prince Philip fishing in that river.

[@wendlit]

Beautiful place! 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏Jenny, Bob & Poppy 🐾🐾

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi Bob, Jenny and Poppy, the parking fees at Balmoral were very reasonable, nice that you can stay overnight should you wish to. Lovely looking at the river from the bridge, the kitchen gardens were lovely, beautiful colours. The Castle looked stunning in the distance. The garden cottage was really nice. The scenery around the castle is stunning. Lunch looked yum , the memorials were very touching. Wow, the flood markers were a great idea, cant believe how far the river can flood. Glad you enjoyed your visit. We did, take care x Julie and Tony x

[@lorettaobrien8599]

Thank you Bob and Jenny. Another great video... Based on your walk around I think I'll visit next year. Thanks

[@ericwatkins2554]

Really enjoyed the video. We were there six weeks ago and thourghly enjoyed our visit. We took our caravan up to Scotland for the first time and stayed near Leven in Fife. Long journey for us having travelled from Aberaeron in West Wales. Did it in a few hops and it worked out fine. We are now hooked on Scotland - beautiful scenery and lovely people, can't wait to go again.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Good to hear, we love Scotland.

[@user-ui9kv9io5y]

Many thanks Bob ,Jenny & Poppy . Brilliant video thank you 😊

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you too!

[@elaineh7811]

Balmoral is my favourite of all the castles .Thanks Bob and Jenny .and Poppy 🚐😁

[@alasdairvincent6248]

Royal Deeside is a lovely part of Scotland. It’s not difficult to understand how our late Queen, loved her time at Balmoral Castle. I particularly enjoy your trips in Scotland, being a native of the country. It’s interesting to see you at places I have visited.Balmoral Castle is a beautiful building and I know that King Charles also enjoys spending time there.I hope you have an enjoyable time in the area, Bob and Jenny.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you we did

[@jamescampbell9521]

Great video from you all especially lovely poppy ,she just loves Scotland and the outdoors , thanks till the next time

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jeanettedodd4460]

Well Bob and Jenny a huge Thankyou for showing us round Balmoral ! We stayed in Ballater many years ago now at Craigendaroch , we visited the area of Balmoral but it was closed to the public but we did get to go to Crathie church. So because of you both finally got to see the beautiful grounds and hear some of the history . Just fantastic, Thankyou you’ve made my day xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

That's nice to hear, thank you.

[@Motormad196]

Stunning scenery, the peaty colour of the Scottish rivers always reminds me of family holidays in the Highlands. Very interesting to see some of the Balmoral estate, thank you for the tour.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

You're welcome

[@paulhampton4217]

The last time we were there parking was free even motorhome overnight parking was free. Balmoral castle is a lovely place to spend a day.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No longer free I'm afraid, but not too bad.

[@vansforthememories]

We went last November & the king waived the entry fees for a short time after the queen died ❤️ I also did the same as you with the Flood Marks, I thought it was strange that all the storms were called “Mark” 😂 I’m glad it’s not just me, it took me a while to catch on 🤭 it’s a beautiful place, our dog seemed to love it there. Thanks, Em 💜

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thought I got away with that, why were all the floods called Mark. 😂

[@vansforthememories]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo 😂😂 it’s amazing how high the river got to the castle though 🥴 Em 💜

[@jimmyconnolly3461]

What a lovely day out you had at Balmoral Estate. The grounds and setting is stunning. Scotland is always my favourite tour that you do. Amazing start to this tour. ✊👍❤️

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you

[@lynmoore8355]

Great Vvlog guys awesome trip around Balmoral........ loved it thank you.

[@chris4koi521]

Another very informative video blog, many thanks to you Bob & Jenny, and of course, Pops, lovey walk around, looks like you all had a lovely day out at Balmoral Estate, when we were there in August 2022, it was closed, so good to see what we missed and a good reason for going back soon to coincide with when the public can get access, which we didn't appreciate at the time. Keep up the good work, many thanks again.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes we enjoyed our trip to Balmoral, the weather was kind.

[@naturalbornglampers5034]

Blimey. There's you saying 'its a bit cold today 11c' and there's us with a minimum last night of 25c. Our respite, here in Spain, lasted for a couple of days and now we start to go back up to 30+. Dear oh dear. Enjoy the cool, we would love to have some. Enjoy Balmoral. Fantastic place

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, it's pretty comfortable compared to last month.

[@DunkfaeOotnAbootWiUs]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo your just showing me round Artower campsite at this very moment

[@mikecharleston7197]

Hi Bob n jenny ,interested in your sat nav ,I know it has the caravan club sites built in, but does it also show the camping and caravan club sites also .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No, but you can download and install them as I did here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKrTfKKZjKmSfdE

[@wendlit]

Thank you! I remember King Charles (aka Prince Charles standing in that stony bit of river, 🎣 fishing) didn’t Charles and Diana stand in there for a photo shoot too? I enjoy your banter, you’re a great duo 😂

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we were trying to figure where they were filmed.

[@NatureAndOther]

Great video ❤️ 👍

[@markhead8193]

great vlog

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you

[@catherinehinchy2097]

How do you pick the sites Are you in the Camc

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We're in the Caravan and Motorhome Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club so that's a pretty big choice to start with and we use their websites. Non club sites we usually find with Google. So it's normally a case of deciding where we are going and finding a site nearby. We did a video a couple of years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipvVdauap9NjepI
