Blair Estate
Hidden away in Ayrshire, Blair Castle sits within 250 acres of its own grounds, yet just twenty minutes from Glasgow International Airport. It is the perfect venue for a private hideaway house party, as well as an ideal base from which to experience Scotland's magnificent scenery, history and world-class golf courses. Reputedly the oldest continually inhabited mansion house in Scotland, Blair combines its remarkable 900 year history, with the comfort of a family home. Though recently renovated, Blair has retained its unique charm and character. Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens sweep down past the croquet lawn and the Bombo Burn, leading to the estate parkland and woodlands beyond. The outdoor heated swimming pool is available to guests during the summer months. A wide range of activities can be arranged, either on the Estate or at nearby locations, including Mini Highland Games, Falconry, Archery, Whisky Tastings, Murder Mystery & Clay-Pigeon Shooting, to name but a few.

Dining
The Dining Room was added by Captain William Fordyce Blair in the 1800s. It can seat twenty people around the beautiful dining table which was originally made for the Zoffany family, and can seat up to eighty for larger functions. Blair's Executive Chef will work with you to tailor the menu to your individual requirements. Produce is sourced from the best local ingredients and served by the professional staff. Seasonal produce will be used throughout and to our knowledge no genetically modified produce will be used in the dishes produced.
