Alnwick Castle, Northumberland

Alnwick Castle is a castle and stately home in the town of the same name in the English county of Northumberland. It is the seat of the Duke of Northumberland, built following the Norman conquest, and renovated and remodelled a number of times. It is a Grade I listed building and receives over 800,000 visitors per year.

To many people, on their first sight of this glorious medieval castle it can seem foreboding, and certainly its history lacks nothing in drama and intrigue. Yet I am proud that today Alnwick Castle is very much a living castle, at the heart of thriving estates and businesses, and is still our family home, as it has been for over 700 years. [History]

Balmoral Castle, United Kingdom

Balmoral Castle is a large estate house in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is located near the village of Crathie, 6.2 miles (10.0 km) west of Ballater and 6.8 miles (10.9 km) east of Braemar. Balmoral has been one of the residences of the British Royal Family since 1852, when it was purchased by Queen Victoria and her consort, Prince Albert. It remains the private property of the monarch, and is not part of the Crown Estate.

Balmoral Estate was acquired under Prince Albert’s name not Queen Victoria’s. Had the Queen purchased it the estate’s revenues would have been required to go to Parliament and the public purse in accord with the 1760 Civil List Act. Furthermore the estate is not owned by the monarch but rather by Trustees under Deeds of Nomination and Appointment. These are technicalities, perhaps, but very important ones in regards to land ownership and liabilities
