Blair Castle: Queen Victoria's Love Affair With Scotland | American Viscountess
This time, Julie Montagu, the American Viscountess visits Blair Castle, the gateway to the Highlands of Scotland. Blair Castle is everything you imagine a Scottish Castle to be – its architecture is the epitome of the Scottish Baronial style – with its fairy-tale turrets and crenelations. It’s here in the 1840s that Queen Victoria first fell in love with the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Blair Castle is the ancestral home of the Atholl family and today, the Castle and the vast Atholl estates are managed by the Troughton family. Join the American Viscountess for a fascinating visit to this breathtaking castle and experience the wild landscape, explore the hidden delights of the attics, the beautiful Georgian interiors and hear how the Atholl Highlanders guarded Queen Victoria during her stay in 1844, and are today the only remaining private army in Europe.
