Crathie Kirk - Queen Victoria first visited this church in 1848 when she came to Balmoral Castle, starting a tradition that continues today, where Royal Family members and their guests worship with local parishioners. Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone of the current church in 1893, and it was completed and dedicated in 1895. The new building was funded by subscriptions and donations from parishioners and the public, including a £2,000 gift from Queen Victoria’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Louise, who raised the money at a Bazaar held on the grounds of Balmoral Castle.
