Blair Castle is nestled in the landscape of Highland Perthshire and has been home to 19 generations of Stewarts and Murrays of Atholl. Unique amongst Scottish castles, the story told here will take you from a visit by Mary Queen of Scots to the Civil War and from the Jacobite cause to the disaster of Culloden following Bonnie Prince Charlie's own stay in the castle. You'll hear how the lucky inheritance of a smuggler-infested island helped turn the castle into a comfortable home and how a visit from Queen Victoria led to the creation of Europe's only surviving private regiment, the Atholl Highlanders.

This was an excellent personal experience for myself and family. Brian, our tour guide, was both pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed having him for the day. Would recommend experiencing this personal tour.

We had to book our day tour last minute due to a mixup on another tour that was a larger group tour. After having done a private tour in Ireland, we were actually glad the large group tour was cancelled and we were able to book with Aura Journeys. The other tour was to include Loch Ness and the Highlands, which would have been a 12-hour tour. The private tour with Aura for my husband, me and our two friends afforded us a completely customized experience with our driver Brian. He picked us up from our hotel in Edinburgh at 9 am and explained that some of the planned stops were closed or already booked at capacity, which didn’t phase us one bit. We just wanted to see as much of Scotland and the Highlands and really had no specific requests. Brian gave us an exceptional experience! He had the Mercedes van stocked with water, snacks and the infamous Iron Cru drinks! We saw Newton Viewpoint, the Kelpies, Shetland ponies, cows (which we got to pet and feed!), Doune Castle, multiple cathedrals, Roman Camp Hotel for lunch with the most beautiful garden and grounds, a waterfall outside Aberfoyle, and the William Wallace memorial in less than 12 hours. If you are thinking about booking with Aura, BOOK IT! Cannot recommend them enough and be sure to ask for Brian as your driver if he’s available. Not only did he give us a heck of a day, he was so friendly and personable and wonderful to spend the day with!

We had the best time seeing more of the Scottish countryside with William as our guide! Even before our arrival, he was super responsive via email, making sure that he knew what we were hoping to do and see. William had lots of great stories and information to share, and we loved seeing Loch Katrine and doing a tasting a Deanston Distillery. We’d definitely recommend booking with Aura Journeys if you’re wanting to see a bit more of Scotland outside of Edinburgh!
