Profile:

The Great Houses are three of Scotland's finest historic privately owned homes. Blair Castle, ancient seat of the Earls and Dukes of Atholl, Glamis Castle, family home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and Scone Palace, crowning place of Scottish kings. Each house offers a five-star visitor experience, and all are a short drive of each other. Blair Castle nestles in the dramatic Highland Perthshire landscape, Scone Palace, surrounded by beautiful gardens is just two miles from Perth, and Glamis Castle, with its fairytale turrets is sheltered by the Angus Glens and just a short drive from Perth. A trip to Perthshire and Angus wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Great Houses.
