FACILITIES

Parking: Free Parking for castle visitors is available within 100 yards of the castle for 200 cars and 20 coaches. Coaches may drop passengers at the castle entrance before returning to the car park.

Castle Tours: Accompanied and guided tours are available at no extra cost for groups of 12 or more, subject to availability. Booking is recommended and booked tours are given priority. At busy times and in high season it is not always possible to provide dedicated guides but in such circumstances guides are available along the visitor route to answer questions during free flow tours. Tours take about 50 minutes.

Languages: As well as English, Tours are usually available by arrangement in German, French and Italian. Some other languages may sometimes be offered. Room notes are provided in 8 languages and guidebooks in English, French, German and Italian are available at £3.50 per copy.

Piper: A piper plays daily at the castle during the summer season.

Advice to Drivers & Couriers: Usual facilities are provided. Photography, smoking and dogs (excepting guide dogs) are not permitted inside the castle. Account facilities are available on request by prior arrangement only. Group rates only apply when all the tickets are bought by one person.

Restaurant: We make your customers feel welcome in our restaurant which seats up to 125 people and is available from 10.00am – 5.00pm. The Garry Room can accommodate private lunches for up to 35 people by prior arrangement.

Shop: The Castle Gift Shop stocks a wide range of gifts, books and souvenirs, many based on the Blair Castle collections.

Gardens and Grounds: The extensive parklands in their magnificent Highland setting form part of a large estate with many walks and trails. The landscaped grounds include superb woodlands and the 9 acre Hercules Garden has been painstakingly restored. There is a deer park and pony trekking centre close to the Castle.

Other facilities: Audio visual room; limited mobility scooter for grounds access.
