"The approach from the main road at Blair Atholl
is through a great avenue of lime trees which leads
the visitor to the white facade of the east front
of the castle which, during its existence of nearly
seven hundred years, has known the splendour of
royal visitations, submitted to occupation by opposing
forces on no less than four occasions, has suffered
siege and partial destruction, and changed its architectural appearance to suit
the taste of many generations."
