Price

The Aberdeenshire burgh of Ballater is only 7 miles from the estate at Balmoral that was purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1848 (and still is the monarch's private home in Scotland). The increase in the number of visitors to the area, following the trend set by the Royal family, lead to an increase in local prosperity. William Robb, who had had a shop in Inverness, set up a shop in Ballater in 1880. His links with the Royal family were such that in 1903 William Robb was commissioned to make the original silver accoutrements for the Balmoral Highlanders (a private regiment drawn from among the staff on the Balmoral estate).
