There is so much to enjoy and do at Blair Castle that many visitors return again and again, always discovering something new.

In the grounds, Diana’s Grove is a fine planting of tall trees, originally laid out in 1737. Hercules Garden was also designed in the mid 18th century forming a walled garden of some 9 acres which has recently been restored. The historic ruins of St Bride’s Kirk stand on raised ground beyond Diana’s Grove.

Inside the castle a spectacular display of arms and armour greets the visitor on arrival in the main entrance hall. The extensive collections also include pictures, furniture, porcelain, embroidery, Masonic regalia and family memorabilia.

The Atholl Highlander Room commemorates Europe’s only remaining private army which has its headquarters at the castle. Each May the Atholl Highlanders assemble for a full parade under the inspection of their Colonel in Chief, the Duke of Atholl.

An audiovisual display provides a general overview of the castle and is particularly helpful for those who are unable to undertake a full tour of the castle for themselves.
