Balmoral Castle - Scotland
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY RIVERDRIFT HOUSE

In the designer's own words:

“Another in my series of Royal samplers, here is the much-loved and privately-owned Scottish holiday home of Her Majesty the Queen. Originally purchased by Prince Albert in 1852 - see the ‘V’ and ‘A’ for Victoria and Albert - who rebuilt the Castle in its baronial style, perhaps with some Germanic influences.

Set amongst forest and grouse moors in the spectacular mountain scenery of Deeside, the grounds and gardens open to visitors during April-July.

I have included some of the pot plants grown in the Victorian glasshouses, a pattern from the floor in the entrance hall, the Scottish national flower - the thistle - red squirrels, Union Flag and blue Saltaire, flag of Scotland with cross of St Andrew, and a tartan ribbon border to complete the Scottish theme.

As always, when the Royal Standard flies, the corgis watch on!

 

Creative Poppy says:

With royal crest, Scottish and Union Jack flags, blue thistle, tartan ribbon and Scottish moor animals, nothing is missing in this pretty royal sampler. This pattern is part of a series of designs dedicated to residences of the British royal family.
