Queen Elizabeth is currently taking a break from royal duties at her estate Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

She travelled to the Aberdeenshire area early in July and is expected to spend a few months there taking a break from royal engagements.

It is well known to the public that Scotland is one of the Queen’s favourite places, as she spent her childhood vacationing at the Balmoral estate.

The Queen’s parents were the first royals to take an interest in the estate since the death of Queen Victoria.

The Queen and Prince Philip also spent part of their honeymoon there in 1947, where the couple stayed at the Birkhall hunting lodge located on the Balmoral grounds.

During the 2012 Jubilee celebrations, the Queen said: “Scotland has played such a very special part in our lives, and that of my family, over the years and we have greatly enjoyed our frequent visits.”

The Queen will stay at Craigowan Lodge in July, a stone cottage located a mile away from Balmoral Castle.

She is expected to move into the castle after August 2, which is when Balmoral Castle closes to the general public.

It is tradition for the Queen to stay in Scotland until Autumn, around September or October, before travelling back to England to resume her royal duties.
