In the Aberdeenshire region of Scotland, near the royal family's favorite residence, 11 stone monuments were built by Queen Victoria. The most famous of them is the Albert Pyramid, erected in 1862 after the death of the queen’s husband, Prince Albert. This monument, approximately 11 meters tall, is now known as the “Great Pyramid of Scotland.”
Each monument was built to commemorate important events in the royal family – such as the marriage or death of their children.
Visitors can view these historic structures via the walking paths surrounding the Balmoral estate. Historians note that these places represent not only natural beauty but also the silent memory of royal emotions.
For many years, the public did not know about these monuments. Some are hidden among trees and unmarked on maps. Today, they have become a unique destination for tourists seeking to uncover the secrets of the Victorian era.
