Ardblair

Christine's cousin Jenny, is married to the Laird of Blairgowrie , Laurence Blair- Oliphant and they live in Ardblair castle. 
  We stayed in the Lady Nairne room in her bed with her piano for company. She was famous for writing many of Scotland's iconic tunes including 100 piper's, Charlie is my darling and many others. 
   The mattress was horse hair with a high ridge down the middle. Perhaps it was to keep you on your side of the bed? Middle ages birth control ?
