Prince Albert’s Pyramid, Cairngorm

Prince Albert’s Pyramid is a very unique building indeed. Who would expect to find a pyramid in the middle of Scotland? Not me!

This pyramid is actually a cairn, errected by Queen Victoria in memory of her husband, Prince Albert. It is probably the finest cairn in Scotland and on the trail there, you’ll come across a few others that look more traditional.

It’s well worth the visit being situated right next to Balmoral Castle and with it being located smack bang in the middle of a pine forest. Go in the winter and you’ll be surrounded by snow capped mountains too.
