Queen recruits staff for Balmoral Estate

The Queen is seeking "caring and positive" workers to run her private Scottish retreat, Balmoral.

The Balmoral Castle and Estate attracts over 70,000 visitors each year, and is open to the public from April to the end of July, before the annual summer arrival of the Royal Family.

Tourists help to pay nearly half of the estimated £3milion-a-year running costs of the 55,000 acre estate.
