Blair Castle stands as the focal point in a designed landscape of some 2,500 acres within a Highland estate. The Hercules Garden is a walled garden of about nine acres recently restored to its original 18th-century design with landscaped ponds, a Chinese bridge, contemporary plantings, vegetables and an orchard of more than 100 fruit trees. The glory of this garden in summer is the herbaceous border, which runs along the 275 yard south-facing wall.
