Gated entry for Blair Castle from B8079 The impressive gate and gatehouse into the Blair Castle parkland from the B road which would of course have been the A9 before its complete realignment. Visitors to the castle are directed to the main entrance to the castle and its grounds, a further two miles along the road.
