Children's Activities on Atholl Estates

Tractor Tours

Explore the grounds of Blair Castle and the surrounding landscape on a 90 minute vintage tractor and trailer ride. Travelling at a leisurely pace you’ll visit parts of the castle grounds many visitors never get to see as you travel through farmland, woodland and along the maze of estate tracks. The tour offers many opportunities to see the animals that live on the estate including red deer, Highland ponies and Highland cows. A real favourite with children, this tour is a fun way to discover more of the estate. 


Ranger Activites

Our ranger service operates throughout the estate assisting visitors in their understanding and enjoyment of the area.

We organise a lot of ranger events throughout the year, with the main programme running from June to October. The walks are open to all, but children must be accompanied by an adult. The walks entered as 'Adult Walks' and 'Children's Walks' are aimed at a particular audience - all are welcome but please be aware that the content of the walk will reflect the intended audience.

Booking is only required on those walks that state BOOKING ESSENTIAL. Otherwise just turn up. Many of our walks are accessible for people with mobility difficulties or other disabilities or can be easily adapted. Please contact us in advance so we can advise you.
For more information please see the Blair Atholl Ranger Service. 

Pony Trekking

Our trekking centre is located a few hundred yards above Blair Castle and operates daily (apart from Sundays in the spring and Mondays in the summer) from Easter to the middle of September.

Unfortunately, the centre can only serve children 12 or over due to the size of the Highland Ponies.

For more information please see our Blair Castle Trekking Centre.
