Blair Castle is the seat of the Duke of Atholl, sitting at the centre of the Atholl estates. Cumin''s Tower is believed to be the oldest part of the castle, built in 1269 by John Comyn of Badenoch, but the castle has undergone extensive reconstruction over the centuries, the last major work taking place in the 19th century.
