By the time we got to Balmoral it was far too late in the day for a visit. So we just scouted the outside.

Gates to Balmoral Estate. With monograms GR for George V and MR for Queen Mary:-

On the appraoch road from the car park lies a War Memorial unveiled by King George V in 1922.

Note the swastikas (or fylfots) at base of the inscription. These are in a different orientation to the later German swastikas and were good luck symbols.
The names on the upper block are of Balmoral estate employees, the lower ones are for men from the nearby village of Crathie.
