About us

Atholl Estates is one of Scotland’s best-known Highland estates stretching across 145,000 acres at the entrance to the Cairngorms National Park. Managing a range of tourism and rural operations, our central aims are the preservation and enhancement of the estate's natural, built and social environment for the benefit of Scotland as a whole. The estate is best-known for the famous landmark of Blair Castle, the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl and home to Europe's only private army, the Atholl Highlanders. Steeped in history, the castle and grounds are open to the public for day visitors, corporate events, functions and weddings. Other tourism enterprises run by Atholl Estates include Blair Castle Caravan Park, Blair Castle Woodland Lodges, Atholl Highland Lodges, Wildlife Safaris, the Atholl Estates Rangers Service and a range of traditional country sports including fishing and stalking. Atholl Estates also runs Scotland's leading equestrian event, the Blair Castle International Horse Trials, running over four days at the end of August every year. We also run a number of rural operations including property letting, farming, forestry and more recently, a number of hydro schemes.

  • Blair Castle’s Hugh Chamberlain is setting off on a 5000-mile journey from Highland Scotland to the Sahara Desert, in memory of his late Father-in-Law, Tony Rawlings. Tony's dream of exploration, tied to his beloved 1993 Land Rover Defender 300tdi, lives on through this endeavour. Despite Tony's passing, his legacy of adventure and resilience remains strong. Hugh, with his friend Dave Hill, will navigate this challenging route this September, aiming to raise funds for RSABI and Eden Valley Hospice, charities close to their families' hearts. To donate to the incredible charities go to: https://lnkd.in/eEBHGeHD #blaircastle #highlandheathertosaharasands #RSABI #edenvalleyhospice

  • It’s #WorldEnvironmentDay, a day for encouraging worldwide awareness & action to protect our environment. In February, several members of the management team undertook their Carbon Literacy training and all achieved their certification last month. The aim of the training was to encourage the team to develop an awareness & understanding of climate change and how greenhouse gasses impact on not only the work that they do but also on their everyday activities. Each of the participants has identified some key actions that they have committed to pursuing which will, in turn, help to support the estates sustainability ambitions. #carbonliteracy #training
