Balmoral has been in the royal family for over 150 years. Prince Albert bought it for his wife, Queen Victoria, in 1852, after they fell in love with the Scottish Highlands on a trip a few years earlier.
The couple leased the property for four years, starting in 1848, before purchasing it.
After buying the property, the royal family determined that the current castle wasn't large enough, so Prince Albert oversaw the construction of an entirely new castle, which remains to this day.
