History

Etymology

Castle name first appears in writing as Bouchmorale in 1451. Formed from a combination of Old Irish both (“hut, bothy, cot; cabin”) and an uncertain second element. The second element may be Pictish, equivalent to Welsh mawr (“large”) + Welsh iâl (“pastureland”).

From Irish Baile Mhóireil, baile + mór, from Old Irish mór (“big, great”)).

From Balmoral Castle, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
