Royal Scotland - Blair Castle, Scone Palace & Queen's View

Overview

Lying at the foot of the Grampians, Blairgowrie ("Plain of Gowrie" in Scottish Gaelic) has been occupied continuously since the Neolithic period: numerous flint and bronze artefacts have been found in the immediate area. The town's centrepiece is the Wellmeadow, a grassy triangle on which regular markets and shows are held. Blairgowrie Golf Club, founded in 1889, has two 18 hole courses and a 9 hole course. Highland Games are held annually on Bogles Field and are noted for the mass tug o'war between the entire populations of Blairgowrie and Rattray.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Outward Travel

Day 2 - Ballater, Braemar & Cairngorms National Park

  • A day of spectacular scenery awaits as we make our way into the Cairngorms National Park. We visit beautiful Ballater, call at Crathie Kirk (the church located at the gates to glorious Balmoral) and Braemar - a delightful village surrounded by the fine Grampian Mountains.

Day 3 - Blair Castle, Queen's View & Pitlochry

  • Our day starts with a visit to Blair Castle. Nestled into the beautiful Perthshire countryside, Blair Castle is set at the heart of Highland Perthshire and is the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl. We continue on to admire the spectacular scenery at Queen's View - so called as Queen Victoria once admired this glorious outlook, and we round the day off with a visit to Pitlochry - a charming Highland town brimming with local shops and charming cafes.

Day 4 - Scone Palace & Perth

  • Visit Scone Palace – the Crowning Place of Scottish Kings and the original home of the legendary Stone of Destiny. Generations of the Murray family have resided here and over the centuries and have played host to visitors coming to attend parliaments and coronations, marriages and funerals banquets and grand balls and today you can follow in the footsteps of 42 Scottish Kings to admire the stunning art, architecture and gardens on display here. We continue on to call at the ‘fair city’ of Perth which is set on the River Tay and spanned by two beautiful bridges.
