Blair Castle is situated a few miles north of Pitlochry. It has been the home of the Atholl family for over seven centuries. The family history is brought to life against a backdrop of fine 18^th century interiors and Scots Baronial architecture in 30 rooms.  

The Gardens

The Castle is at the heart of an historic landscape which was laid out in the 18^th century and features a nine acre walled garden, an extensive wooded grove, a ruined kirk, a red deer park and a gothic folly.
