Blair Castle

In the village of Atholl, near Pitlochry, is one of the most famous Scottish castles. Blair Atholl Castle (Blair Castle) which still belongs to the family who built it - the Atholl family. One difference to other castles is definitely the whiteness of its construction, which primarily and sunny days will bring out over the blue sky the impressive splendid green gardens. It also has another peculiarity, which is that it is the only one in which the owner has his own guard, called the Althollmen, who parade on a few days annually. We were not lucky enough to see them. Inside there is the magnificent collection of furniture and weapons and especially the grand ballroom.
