Blair Castle Policies

Milestone (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Blair Castle Policies stands as a nineteenth-century milestone in Perth and Kinross, marking a boundary or distance along a road now forgotten by most. The stone may have guided carts, riders or wandering feet through castle lands, but its exact purpose has faded. What remains is a small hard point in time, waiting for someone to walk past and imagine the hands that placed it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Blair Castle Policies as Milestone (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Blair Castle Policies were developed as part of the estate associated with Blair Castle, which has been held by the Clan Campbell since the 13th century. The policies are historically significant as they reflect the landscape management and architectural influence of one of Scotland's most powerful noble families.
