Scathing reviews of Balmoral mar tours

Tickets for the first ever private guided tours of the Highland home - bought for Queen Victoria by husband Prince Albert in the 1850s sold out in hours, while afternoon teas and tours of the estate have also proved popular.

But those entering the castle from July must contend with security checks, a ban on photography and mobility scooters, and a rule about carrying bags at "low levels" to avoid knocking over priceless heirlooms.

Other visitors can explore the grounds, gardens and an exhibition of King Charles's watercolours and outfits of the King and Queen, the late Queen and the Queen Mother in the ballroom over the summer until August 11.
