Set your watch by the Balmoral Hotel clock, and you will never be late again! Famously set 3 minutes fast, to ensure people catch their trains on time, it's only correct once a year on 31st December for the Near Year celebrations.

At 58 metres high, it's a prominent landmark at the Eastern end of Prices Street.

A magnificent structure at Waverley Railway Station, The Balmoral is easily recognizable as a landmark from afar.
