On Wednesday, we went to Blair Castle. This huge white castle is open to the ppublic and we were able to walk through and admire the ancient armor, the many weapons (like swords, pole arms, firearms, and cannons), the fine china, antiques, and the paintings of the various Dukes of Atholl through the years. It was a grand place and bespoke of the vast wealth of the family in days long past. On the grounds, we saw some red deer, both hinds and a stag.
We returned to Pitlochry for lunch and a bit of shopping before our transfer to Kirkcaldy Raith. Our new hosts met us for dinner at a local hotel and the food was fantastic. We have also been granted the opportunity to stay in the same house as a group, a very welcome chance at this point of the trip. We are grateful to Jarlath and Dawn Busby for their generosity and trust.
