I would be grateful for a bot of advice - if you have time to visit only one of the castles mentioned above- which one would you choose and why?
We will have very limited time on our last day in Scotland, driving from Aviemore via A9 down to Chester. We plan to stop in Dunkeld and do a Hermitage walk to break the journey a bit, and also want to visit one of these castles- although probably gardens only, time restricting (and I got the idea they are all full of old dusty furniture anyway :). Nice views of the house from outside and gardens are the priority. From this perspective which one is better?
I found the websites for both, I like the look of Blair castle, and the history of Scone Palace, but which one would you choose to visit? Thanks for input!
