Residents living near Blair Castle and Atholl Estates will be able to gain entry on the day the gardens reopen.
To mark the opening of the garden gates for the first time since March, and as the first opportunity to welcome back the local community, the estate is offering free entry to the gardens to those living in the PH18 postcode on Wednesday, July 15.
The estate will also be collecting donations for the Blair Atholl Resilience Group, which has brought people together to provide essential support over the last few months.
