Blair
Atholl - Blair Castle
Situated at the foot of the Grampian mountains, Blair Castle
is one of Scotland's best loved and most visited castles.
Set in extensive parklands, including the recently restored
Hercules Garden and Diana's Grove, and with 725 years of history
and over 30 rooms open to the public, Blair Castle makes an
ideal day out for all the family. It is the home of the Atholl
Highlanders, Britain's only private army, and is also the
traditional home of the Duke of Atholl. It was also the last
house in Britain to be besieged, having been besieged twice
during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, the last time immediately
prior to the Battle of Culloden.
