Blair Castle and all it's finishing is breath taking. To see how the very rich lived every day was interesting. One whole room was just cabinets of dinner china. Beautiful

First time here, and what a gem. Stunning scenery and vistas with rocky crags, mountain, crystal clear rivers, and heather in bloom. Drove the Northern snow route south to Breamar. It was thrilling and a pleasure to do. A must if you come here.

A huge park, the largest in Scotland and perhaps the UK. Many trails are available and they are well marked and maintained so hiking them is easy, giving you the chance to get closer to the nature than you might ever imagine. You’ll get enough of pines, water and oxygen all along. Make sure you follow the wooden stakes, if you want to avoid extra walking. Allow at least an hour (time outside the car). Parking fee: £4/day.

Always a beautiful place, the walk up to the pyramid cairn was almost too steep for a teenager, but once up, everyone appreciated the views!

Visited Sunday.View over I K Brunel's bridge before Balmoral gates. By chance H.M the King was returning from church and we gave him a wave.
