Situated
at the gateway to the Scottish Highlands and surrounded by the
most resplendent mountain scenery in Europe, Pitlochry is a gloriously
colourful and vibrant Victorian town with the River Tummel running
along its edge. Pitlochry's fame as a vacation resort dates from
as long ago as the 1860's ensuring that this is an area very proud
of its tradition of hospitality and the extraordinary warm manner
with which visitors are welcomed.
A
must for any visitor to Pitlochry is one of the town's best-loved
attractions, Pitlochry Dam and Fish Ladder. Here you will be enthralled
by the sight of salmon negotiating the specially constructed ladder
allowing them to bypass Pitlochry Dam into man made Loch Faskally.
No
vacation in the Pitlochry area is complete without a visit to
" Scotland's Theatre in the Hills ". The Pitlochry Festival Theatre
lies on the banks of the River Tummel and is internationally renowned
for its fine repertoire of drama and comedy.
Near
Pitlochry is the conservation village of Moulin, where a church
has stood for at least 1400 years. Beyond Moulin is Edradour Distillery.
West of Pitlochry stands the richly sculptured Pictish Dunfallandy
Stone. To the north is the beautiful Pass of Killiecrankie. The
story of the famous battle in this tree-lined gorge is a feature
of the visitor centre. Further north again is Blair Castle, the
magnificent seat of the Dukes of Atholl with 32 rooms open to
the public and a wealth of arms, porcelain, and paintings.
In fact, you will almost be overwhelmed by the sheer choice of
things to see and do in the Pitlochry area. Walking, fishing,
golfing and a host of sightseeing activities. It's a great place
to visit !!
