The Queen loved Scotland, in particular, her 72000 acre Balmoral estate 🏴 We take look back at some of her fondest memories in the home nation 👇
One of the Queen’s most bizarre visits to the country was in 1958 when she visited a newly-opened mine in Fife. Donning a white boiler suit with a white headscarf to match and miner’s helmet, the Queen descended 500m by cage deep into the mine to walk to the coal face. She reemerged with her white boiler suit still immaculate.
Scotland captured the UK’s longest reigning monarch’s heart in her earliest days – Glamis Castle in Angus was the family home of her mother and acted as a source of happy early childhood memories. Even in her 90s it was not uncommon to see the Queen horse riding through the estate and as the only person in the UK permitted to drive without a licence, she could often be spotted behind the wheel of a land rover.
