Balmoral was owned by our Farquharson chief until in 1848 Queen Victoria persuaded the Laird to sell it to her. It has been the Scottish home of the British Royal Family ever since.

Battle of Culloden
1746 was the year that saw so many Farquharsons die in this last Battle to
be held on British soil. Men from the our Clan were in the centre of the
front line.
The Clan Farquharson made a pilgrimage to the site during our August reunion
in 2006.
