Birkhall

Birkhall (from the Scots Birk Hauch: "Birch River-meadow")[1] is a 210 km2 (52,000 acres) estate on Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, owned by King Charles III.

[5] A fine wire suspension bridge, erected in 1880 by John Harper, crosses the River Muick at Birkhall.

After the Duke of York ascended to the throne in 1936, the new king and queen occupied Balmoral during the summer.

Later on Princess Elizabeth, her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and their children occupied Birkhall during the late summer season.

[10] In 2011, Prince William and his wife Catherine, then the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, celebrated Hogmanay at Birkhall.
