Ardblair Castle

[2] Patrick Blair of Ardblair was beheaded for the murder of George Drummond of Ledcrieff and his son, cousins of the Earl of Atholl, after a trial in 1554.

[2] It is thought that the original castle was built by the Blairs during the Norman period, on the site of a fort, with the tower at the north west being built on the foundation of part of the earlier castle.

[1] The later additions form a courtyard,[1] the north side being a wall with a central arched gateway, dated from 1668.

It has a wide fireplace; its massive chimney-stack it a notable feature of the main building's south side.

It is supposed that this is Lady Jean Drummond of Newton, who died of a broken heart having fallen in love with one of the Blairs, despite the feuds between the families.
