The image was taken at the Royal Family's Balmoral Castle in Ballater, Scotland. This location is a privately owned holiday home by the Royal Family, but it is open to the public on select days (varying each season). Balmoral is located midway between Ballater and Braemar, just off the A93. The nearest railway station and airport are located in Aberdeen, approximately 50 miles East of Balmoral. You can refer to https://www.stagecoachbus.com/timetables to plan your trip, but you will need access to a car to get to this location. Once you're on the castle grounds, follow the GPS coordinates to get to the exact spot where I took the featured photo. This viewpoint will be on the side of the castle in the garden behind the rose trees.
