Made more than 100 years ago for British lords and ladies, Royal Scottish Lavender captures a favorite imperial getaway: Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Gentle lavender grows in the highlands -- the countryside -- around Balmoral. On these vast, private lands, the royal family for generations has found refuge from the public eye -- and recreation ranging from hiking to picnics.
