'''Balmoral''' is a house and estate near [[Braemar]], [[Aberdeenshire]], [[Scotland]], owned by [[Queen Elizabeth II]]. It is Her Majesty's favoured residence in [[Scotland]] and used for royal summer holidays, although her official residence in Scotland is the Palace of [[Holyroodhouse]], [[Edinburgh]]. Balmoral was designed for [[Prince Albert]], consort of [[Queen Victoria]], in the [[Scottish Baronial]] style popular in the nineteenth century. It eschews the formality of court life and decoration, having jolly [[tartan]] wallpaper and carpets, and alarm clocks are prohibited - instead, the Queen and her family and guests are woken by the sound of the [[bagpipes]].
