Blair Castle, Country house in Blair Atholl, Scotland.
Blair Castle rises near Blair Atholl village with stone walls, Gothic elements, and Baroque features incorporated throughout its architectural design.
The castle's origins date to 1269 when John Comyn constructed the initial tower, which later became part of the expanded fortress under the Earl of Atholl.
The castle preserves collections of weapons, hunting trophies, and Murray clan artifacts that demonstrate the traditional lifestyle of Scottish nobility.
Visitors can explore the castle's furnished rooms through guided tours, walk the garden paths, and participate in seasonal events throughout the year.
The property maintains Europe's only permitted private army, the Atholl Highlanders, who continue ceremonial duties at the castle.
