In 1852 Queen Victoria invited the architect William Smith of Aberdeen to design a new castle at Balmoral to replace the pre-existing building, which had become too small to accommodate the Royal Family. The new Scots baronial castle, with its prominent clock tower, is built around two courts, one surrounded by the principal apartments, the other by kitchens, offices and servants' quarters.
