When I was 10 this movie came out. I didn't understand who it was about exactly or what I would feel after watching it. But once I did, I was a changed person.
The Queen made me love Queen Elizabeth, her home at Balmoral and everything about Scotland. I wanted to visit so bad. Then the opportunity arose, I would be studying abroad for two whole months in England, why not go? So when my parents flew in we took a short flight to Edinburgh and then drove into the Scottish highlands to visit the castle I had been dreaming about for ages.
It did not disappoint. Everything about the grounds and the house were beautiful. The gardens were awe-inspiring, the house had some pretty tacky 80s hunting lodge feelings {but in the best way possible} and there was so much history to be learned.
It makes sense why the monarchs have always loved their "little" getaway to the highlands...I did too-xoxo darling, Hayden.
P.S. If you haven't seen The Queen, I would 10/10 recommend. It is about how the royal family, specifically Queen Elizabeth reacted after Princess Diana's death.
P.P.S. Check back on Thursday for even more photos!
You can also stay on the grounds, I had no idea otherwise I would have made the fam do this!
