Is there disabled access to Blair Castle?

Disabled visitors should get guidance and help from reception staff on arrival at the ticket office who will direct them, if appropriate, to park close to the castle.

A full tour of the castle includes three floors and it is not possible to avoid stairs. Your entry ticket allows admittance to the whole of the ground floor which is accessible by wheelchair from the disabled parking area and gives access to several display rooms, the gift shop, restaurant, lavatories (including disabled lavatory), and an audio-visual tour presentation (with subtitles) on the castle.

We do not permit wheelchairs on the upper floors.

The audiovisual facility provides a rolling 25-minute display showing many aspects of the castle. It is principally intended for disabled visitors who are given priority but are otherwise open to all.

Accompanying carers will not be charged entry to Blair Castle. In addition, we welcome guide dogs, caring dogs and other recognised assistance dogs.

Can I take photos inside Blair Castle?

You are welcome to take photographs of all areas within the castle (excluding the Entrance Hall area) using small cameras or mobile phones, however, any images taken are strictly for personal use only.

For commercial, business or any other photography, please contact Julia Sim at julias@blair-castle.co.uk

To keep our collections safe and with consideration to all our visitor’s uninterrupted enjoyment, we never allow tripods, selfie sticks or flash photography.

Are dogs allowed in Blair Castle?

Due to its historical and heritage status, we will only allow Guide Dogs and other recognised Assistance Dogs within the interiors of Blair Castle. Please do bring along any official paper work/documents with you as our ticketing team may ask to see them.

Within our Castle Grounds, we are more than happy for dogs to enjoy the boundless green spaces, provided that they are kept on short leads and supervised at all times.

There are extensive walking routes surrounding the Castle, which are perfect for exercising your dog. Please be mindful that this is a working estate with livestock and other wildlife on trails, so please keep dogs under control to minimise disruption.

Please use the dog bins provided.

Is there charging points for electric vehicles?

There is an EV charging point within our visitor car park at Blair Castle, provided by Pod Point. The pod is rated at 7kw and is easy to use via their Pod Point app. Simply download and register for an account prior to use and follow the steps for charging.

As part of our ongoing efforts to be sustainable at Blair Castle, the Pod Point is connected to the castle hydro scheme, which was reinstated in 2015. As a result, it is powered entirely by renewable energy.
