Tour Scotland Winter Video Drive Blair Castle Perthshire

Tour Scotland Winter video of a drive to Blair Castle, Perthshire, Scotland. Blair Castle stands in its own grounds near the village of Blair Atholl, just North of Pitlochry. The castle is the ancestral home of the Clan Murray, and was historically the seat of their chief, the Duke of Atholl. In the Forty Five, Blair Castle was occupied twice by Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his Jacobite army: in early September 1745, for several days, and then in early February 1746, again for several days.[5] However, the Jacobites then unwisely abandoned it and Government forces, including Lowland Clan Agnew then occupied it. They held Blair Castle against the Jacobites, who laid siege to the castle during the last stages of the rising, in March 1746. They were besieged to near starvation until the Jacobite forces withdrew to fight the British Government forces at the Battle of Culloden.
