Royal Family's castle which is hardly visited but bought 'for less than £100'


King Charles and Queen Camilla would always visit a particular castle in Northern Scotland during the summer before they travelled on to the Balmoral Estate for their family holiday

As well as the vast 50,000 acre Balmoral estate in the rolling hills of Aberdeenshire, there is another stunning Scottish home which was bought by King Charles' grandmother for a shockingly low price. The castle has never been lived in full-time and has frequently been used as a summer home for the King and Queen when they were still styled as the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
