Situated within the village of Blair Atholl, this magnificent castle, with its turreted, white harled facade, is one of the best known and best loved of Scotland's castles.
Now over 700 years old, the castle is the traditional home of the Dukes of Atholl. The castle tour, starting in the imposing entrance hall and continuing through over thirty, treasure-filled rooms, is perhaps the most comprehensive in Scotland, while the grounds offer the likes of Diana's Grove, an impressive planting of larch trees with statues and meandering paths, and the newly restored Hercules walled garden.
The wildlife in the gardens is exceptional although if you have a picnic beware as all the birds are very tame.
