Diana's Grove at Blair Castle

Diana’s Grove at Blair Castle

Six miles from Pitlochry, Blair Atholl is home to Blair Castle, the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Atholl. In the castle grounds, you will find Diana’s Grove, two acres of tranquil woodland named after the Roman goddess of hunting.

Walking in the cool shade of tall trees brought from all over the world, this is the perfect spot to appreciate some of the finest specimens of Big Tree Country.

Here, you find the UK’s second-tallest tree, a grand fir measuring 62.7 metres high, the tallest Japanese larch in the UK with a height of 44 metres, and the tallest red fir in the UK at 39 metres.

Don’t forget to visit the adjacent nine-acre walled Hercules Garden, the ruin of St Bride’s Kirk, and the sculpture trail.  

Some paths are suitable for wheelchair users.
