Blair Castle and Gardens:
Discover Blair Castle the magnificent ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl, Scotland's most visited historic house and the home of the Atholl Highlanders, Europe's only remaining private army. As a draughty medieval castle, a stately Georgian mansion, or a comfortable Victorian family home, Blair Castle has been a magnet to visitors down the generations. An extensive tour takes in up to 30 rooms full of treasures and alive with the lives and personalities of their former occupants.
Blair Castle is at the hub of a breathtaking historic landscape most of which was laid out in the 18th century and features a magnificent walled garden, a peaceful wooded grove, a ruined kirk, a red deer park and a whimsical gothic folly. Colourful peacocks roam the grounds, Highland cattle graze in fields nearby and the native red squirrel can often be spotted amongst the branches. Children will also enjoy the castle's woodland adventure playground.
