Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is making her royal residence in Scotland available for hire.
The monarch’s Balmoral home could soon host live music concerts for thousands of fans as the 87-year-old royal plans to make more money from the estate.
According to the Daily Express newspaper, the website for Royal Deeside has been re-vamped and a new advert has been posted inviting people to enquire about hiring the land.
The advert reads: "Balmoral provides the perfect setting for your event, with wonderful scenery and the castle providing and magnificent backdrop.
"Whether you are planning a charity event, gala dinner, training course, team building exercise, car rally, conference or even a concert we can assist with your plans."
The news after the Commons Public Accounts Committee announced last month that the Queen is down to her last £1 million.
Rock concerts have not been ruled out but outdoor shows will only take place in the spring and summer months before the Royal Family’s traditional stay at Balmoral every year.
Visitor enterprise manager, Gary Marsden, said: "We are open to suggestions suitable for the location.
"We are not planning to stage concerts ourselves, it would be up to others."
Balmoral has been a royal residence in the Scottish Highlands since 1852 and hosted an outdoor concert to mark the Queen’s 80th birthday in 2006, which saw opera singer Katherine Jenkins take to the stage.
Large events such as Balmoral Road Races and BikeBalmoral have also been held at the estate.
