- Hope you enjoy this guide to Blair Castle, in beautiful highland Perthshire, narrated by my good friend Laura Howarth.
Blair Castle is easily accessible from the A9, about a 2 hour drive north from Edinburgh and 1.5 hours from Inverness. The castle dates back over 700 years and is the ancient seat of the Dukes & Earls of Atholl. It's one of Scotland's most popular visitor attractions and a favourite with campers and caravanners. There are excellent facilities, with a self-service restaurant, gift shop and ample parking.
Highlights of any visit would include a self-guided tour of the castle and a walk around Hercules Walled Garden, Diana's Grove and St Bride's Kirk, which are all stunningly beautiful. After your visit I can thoroughly recommend a walk up the nearby Falls of Bruar, which is about a ten minute drive away. It all makes for a truly fabulous day out.

I've been co-working on this film for a wee while now and it's great to release it. The excellent narration is provided by the talented Laura Howarth. Really hope you enjoy it 😃
Thank you for bringing my family history to life.
Stunning photography. Excellent presentation. Thank you so very much!
Thanks so much Julia, that's really kind of you and much appreciated. It's a wonderful place to visit and I adore the trees there and the old Kirk which is so atmospheric. Thanks for watching, warmest best wishes, David :-)
Yes, David, I did enjoy it, because it was well narrated and filmed, loved the photography. I was at this castle as a teenager when we badgered mum and dad too visit it whilst we were on a camping holiday. It would be worth going back with a camera! Thanks for sharing, have a good weekend.
Hi Janet, hope you're having a good evening and I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I have very fond memories of going up there too, as a kid, with my mum for the Piping Championships. My mum is a wonderful piper and I've been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by music. You must arrange to go back. I was very taken with Diana's Grove - some incredible trees, and the sense of peace & tranquility at St Bride's Kirk was very special indeed. It's a very beautiful spot. Thanks again for commenting, I always deeply appreciate it. Best wishes, David
Hi David, Beautifully presented and narrated. Magnificent castle and grounds. Another place in Scotland to add to my bucket list. Many thanks for the work you do. Be well.
Thanks Mike, really glad you liked it. It's a wonderful place and well worth seeing when you're in Perthshire. Hope you have a lovely weekend. All the best, David :-)
Another fine piece of work David. Laura's narration was the icing on the cake. The pace was perfect for me. Congratulations to both of you. I am hoping for more from this partnership in the future. Keep safe,well and happy.👍👏👏
Thanks so much Clive, I really appreciate it. It was great to work with Laura, she's a lovely person and a real pro. As you say, her narration really is the icing on the cake and I'm very lucky to be able to work with her. We do plan to do more in the future, so watch this space. Thanks again for all your support and I hope you have a lovely weekend. All the best, David
The closing lines from Casablanca come to mind.... This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.😁 peaceful and safe weekend to all.🌹🌹
Another superb film with the added bonus of a wonderful narration. Well done. We've visited Blair Castle many times and enjoyed the Equestrian events and Horse Trials. Lovely thoughtful video and brought back some cherished memories. Thank you.
Hi Paul, hope you're well and many thanks for your very kind words about the film, it's much appreciated. Laura did an amazing job and I'm very lucky to have been able to work with her, it was really good fun. I'm so glad it brought back some good memories. Warmest best wishes, David :-)
my auntie cathie works there so the entry is free but for everyone else it’s quite pricey, been there a good 4 or 5 times when i visit Scotland, it’s a really interesting place and she even got married in the ball room , well worth a visit
Hi Jaydan, many thanks for your comment. What a wonderful place for your aunt to work. It must have been amazing to get married in the ballroom- lucky her. I always enjoy visiting, it’s a very special place and hope to go back soon. Thanks for watching and have a lovely week. All the best, David 🙂
Now I understand why my goal is to build a castle for a home 😂.
