"What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish."

-Matthew 18:12-14

Balmoral Pyramid, nestled in the forests of Cairngorms National Park, is famed for its historic Scottish castles.

The pyramid is both picturesque and historically fascinating as it has ties to the 'Royal Family.'

This Scottish Pyramid is known as cairn. It is the largest of 11 stone mounds erected by Queen Victoria in her family's honour, hidden among trees in the forest surrounding Balmoral Castle in Royal Deeside, Scotland.

It was built to commemorate the death of her husband, Prince Albert, on 14 December 1861.

When Albert died suddenly in 1861, Victoria retreated to secluded privacy of Balmoral to mourn.

“Though she would eventually return to London, the estate cairns remained a symbol of both celebration and desolation; an immovable memory to those the Queen had loved and lost.”

The inscription on his cairn reads:

“To the beloved memory of Albert the great and good Prince Consort. Erected by his broken-hearted widow Victoria R. 21st August 1862.”

Due to its location and royal heritage, the monument is broadly known as Balmoral Pyramid or Prince Albert’s Cairn (prince consort who married Queen Victoria on 10 February 1840).

All cairns are said to commemorate British royal family members and events in their lives.

Prince Albert’s Cairn, however, is the largest and most popular for visitors as it sits atop a hill with incredible views over the Cairngorms National Park.
