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 route now faded from memory. The stone may have guided carts, riders or wandering feet through bruised valley light. It still belongs to the castle estate, not to casual touch, yet it keeps the shape of human direction intact.
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 was originally built by the Clan Macpherson in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Atholl. The Policies, as a landscaped area, became significant in the 18th and 19th centuries under the influence of the Duke of Atholl, reflecting the estate's role in Scottish aristocratic land management and architecture.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
