The oldest part of Blair castle, a seat of the duke of Atholl, dates from 126g; it was restored and enlarged in 1869-72. It was occupied by the marquess of Montrose prior to the battle of Tippermuir in 1644, stormed by the Cromwellians in 1653, and garrisoned on behalf of James II. in 168g. The Young Pre tender stayed here in 1745, and the duke of Cumberland in 1746. The body of viscount Dundee, conveyed hither from the battle field of Killiecrankie, was buried in the church of Old Blair, in which a monument was erected to his memory in 1889 by the 7th duke of Atholl. Every September a great display of High land games is held. The fine falls of Bruar are 4m. W. of Blair Atholl.
