A fascinating house, packed with history .So much to see and read sheer delight. the grounds and parkland are beautiful! A must visit if in the area.

Just entering the castle takes your breathe away, old ruined castles are fine but entering a lived in castle is better. Each room has a story and staff throughout are there to give you any advice you need or tell you a story of the castle. We have yet to go here in the summer when the gardens are at their best.

The castle is a short walk from the camping and caravan park through a nice alley with big trees (although not as big as Diana's trove).When we arrived the weather got cloudy and decided to give the castle a try. It is very nice with a interesting round through the different rooms including some special collections (I remember laces and snuff boxes) on display. In every room is some description for what is on display and we subsequently spent 2.5 hours in the castle enjoying the various displays and artworks (there are a lot of them). Then our little son got bored and decided to go for the (delicious) cake in the cafeteria. The girls took an hour longer and then also wanted some delicious cakes ...When we got out the weather was sunny again and we wandered through the impressive gardens including Diana's (the hunter goddess, not the princess) trove with some of the biggest British trees. Altogether we spend more than 6 hours there and thus we missed the Edradour distillery tour...

Located just off the A9 -B8079 near Blair AthollPerth to Inverness roadA wonderful Castle -not cheap , but to me, worth the costUnique Military items, and everything else you would expect from a Castle. A woodland with rare trees within it -some are the largest of their type in Britain. A nice walk. and a well run restaurant, again not cheap.The whole experience in my opinion was worth the cost.

This is a beautiful Castle with expansive gardens and wild deer. Also excellent tour guides with a tot of whiskey on entry as a welcome.. There are numerous rooms inside the castle with an excellent restaurant. Most rooms are open to the general public, where you can walk around at your leisure. Numerous exhibits well worth looking at.

My wife and I had a limited budget for seeing castles during our tour of Scotland. We were really glad that we used part of it to see Blair Castle. It was well worth the visit with all of the rooms that are available to the public (30 in all) such as the beautiful period rooms, the family history portrayed, the different types of weapons displayed, the great hall. The Hercules garden was very nice and well laid out. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside can also be had from the estate. We drove up to Blair Castle from Edinburgh, which is just off of the motorway and twas easy to find.

The castle is full of historic relics with rooms furnished in 17-18 century style. The walled garden is full of local and exotic plants and is perfect for sitting in on a sunny day .

We happened to visit the weekend of the fiddle and bagpipe championships.We visited the castle on the Friday and toured the castle rooms and the Hercules garden. There are lots of rooms to see and the garden is beautiful even on a dull day. The food in the restaurant was very good and well priced, also gluten free choice. We attended the world fiddle championships on the Sunday and had a fabulous afternoon.

Enjoyed the beautiful grounds but didn't know there were deer in the grounds. Would have loved to see them. The house was interesting but wasn't impressed with the huge amount of antlers hanging on the walls representing dead deer !!
