Blair Drummond Wildlife & Safari Park

Blair Drummond Wildlife and Safari Park opened in 1970 in the grounds of Blair Drummond House. The land had been purchased in 1916 by a wealthy Glasgow tea merchant named Sir John Kay. As he himself had no sons, his nephew Sir John Muir inherited the park who was the father of the present owner, Jamie Muir. Today, the safari park attracts thousands of visitors who come to drive through the park enclosures (park buses take visitors that arrived on public transport) to visit crowd-favourites such as elephants, lions, tigers, bears and bison. Visitors can also travel to Chimp Island on pleasure boats. In addition to the wildlife, there are also other attractions such as a wooden play castle, adventure play area, boating lake and fairground.
