Fix this textSCOTKAND'S FINEST SHOOTING CENTRES ROUND BLAIR CASTLE
Fix this textNORTH of Pitlochry, near the confluence of the rivers Garry and Tilt,
Fix this textstands Blair Castle, the ancient family seat of the Dukes of Atholl.
Fix this textMany of Scotland’s castles have romantic settings but few are situated in more
Fix this textdelightful surroundings than Blair, for the district is renowned for the wild
Fix this textbeauty of its mountain scenery, to which its wooded glens and extensive
Fix this textforests add variety and charm. Nearby is Loch Moraig, a small Highland
Fix this textloch which provides good trout fishing, and between the lake and the foot of
Fix this textBen-y-gloe (3,671 feet) are the nesting places of curlews, lapwings and the
Fix this textred grouse. The curlews and lapwings arrive in April and stay until the end
Fix this textof July, while the grouse remain in the Highlands throughout the year.
Fix this textThe village of Blair-Atholl has been noted as a base for sportsmen lured
Fix this textby the fame of the Atholl grouse moors and deer forests, by the salmon and
Fix this texttrout fishing in the Tilt and Garry, and in winter the slopes of Ben-y-gloe
Fix this textattract many skiers.
Fix this textDating from the 13th century, Blair Castle has had an eventful history in
Fix this textthe course of which it has been in turn the headquarters of Montrose and
Fix this textDundee, and, after the latter was killed at the Battle of Killiecrankie, the
Fix this textRoyalists continued to use it. Bonnie Prince Charlie spent three days at Blair
Fix this textCastle on his way south to Perth, and later it was held for the Duke of
Fix this textCumberland.
Fix this textOne of the privileges of the head of the Atholl family was to present
Fix this texta white rose to the Sovereign when he or she arrived at, or passed through,
Fix this textBlair-Atholl. In Queen Victoria’s Memoirs it is recorded that a white rose
Fix this textwas given to her by the Duke of Atholl. Blair Castle was lent to the Queen
Fix this textduring a visit to the Highlands in 1843, and on that occasion she presented
Fix this textcolours to the Atholl Highlanders—a gift which is usually conferred by the
Fix this textreigning Sovereign only on a national Regiment. The Atholl Highlanders
Fix this textwere first raised by the young Duke of Atholl in the year 1778, after being
Fix this textgiven authority by Parliament to raise 1000 men for the service of the State.
Fix this textThe oldest part of Blair Castle, which is in the Scottish baronial style,
Fix this textis Comyns Tower, said to have been built by Red Comyn in 1269. Today
Fix this textthis great mansion is open to visitors and it contains a fine collection of
Fix this textarms and armour, portraits and interesting Jacobite relics.
