Blair Castle has been the home of the Atholl family for over seven centuries. The castle has had a diverse history, witnessing both turbulent and peaceful times, enlarged and adapted over 750 years. Home to politicians, soldiers, agriculturalists and entrepreneurs, the family history is brought to life against a backdrop of fine 18th century interiors and Scots Baronial architecture, in 30 rooms.
Families can enjoy a fun-filled day out where children can expel energy in our woodland adventure playground, feed red deer and dress for battle in the castle ballroom. The Gardens feature a nine-acre walled garden, a wooded grove, gothic folly, a kirk ruin, and extensive deer park.
Open daily 1st April to 30th October 2026 only (10:00-17:00, last entry 15:45). Closed November through March.
