The incredible stone cairn is one of more than a dozen to be found on the Balmoral Estate in Aberdeenshire.
Pyramids are a source of great intrigue and beauty across the globe. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only structure remaining from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The imposing structures can be found elsewhere in Central and South America, as well as in the Middle East. But there is also one right here in Scotland. Made from granite and measuring 41ft by 41ft at the base, it is tucked away in the woodlands of Royal Deeside. It is the largest of the numerous cairns on the grounds of Balmoral, which commemorate members of the Royal Family and their achievements or deaths.
A plaque on the unique monument reads: "To the beloved memory of Albert, the great and good prince and consort. Erected by his broken-hearted widow Victoria." Around the same area, you'll also find the Crathie Kirk - a regular Sunday spot for worshipping royals when they are staying at Balmoral.
