Blair Castle and Glen Tilt
Our view
Between April and October only (there may be an admission charge): Exit the car park and just to the right of a signboard, yellow waymarkers indicates a path that passes under trees to the River Tilt. Turn right through an exotic grotto until wooden steps on the right lead up to the corner of a caravan park. Cross an earth track to head directly away from the river under pines. At the corner of the caravan park, keep ahead under larch trees following a faint path and a couple of waymarker posts. Cross a track to take the big beech avenue towards Blair Castle. Bear left when you reach a statue of Hercules, passing the Hercules Garden to the front of the castle.
Turn right in front of the castle to a six-way signpost, and bear right for a gate into Diana's Grove. Bear left on a wide path to Diana herself. Turn right on a path that leads to a giant redwood tree and then bear left, to cross Banvie Burn on a footbridge alongside a road bridge. Soon a gate leads you to the road. Alternative route during winter months (or no admission charge): Exit the car park to the private house ahead, then turn left along the road. When reaching a fork, keep right towards Old Blair. Turn right onto Minigaig Street.
