6 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Pitlochry That You Shouldn't Miss

June 23, 2021 Kelli Reichel

Highland Perthshire places some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery within easy reach of both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Pitlochry is the most geared-up base from which to enjoy it. It’s been a bustling mountain resort since the railways arrived in 1863, and these days manages to be both a cozy favorite for tourists who enjoy browsing in its woolen mills and taking in the repertory of plays at its famous Festival Theatre, and a magnet for adrenalin junkies in search of bungee jumping, canyoning, tubing and white water rafting adventures. Visitors of any age will be intrigued by the Pictish carvings on the huge Dunfallandy stone at nearby Ballinluig and, after a bracing mountain walk or visit to the famous salmon ladder, adults can enjoy a warming dram of malt whiskey after a tour at one of the two local distilleries, Edradour and Blair Athol.

Blair Atholl Watermill

We had visited the castle on a previous trip but had not noticed this hidden gem. Lots of seating outside, both in the sun and under cover. Strict guidelines for social distancing in force here and the staff members were so friendly. Lots of things to buy, we decided on two pain au chocolats which were huge and delicious and coffees too. There was also some gorgeous looking bread and rolls for sale and different types of flour too.

Came here for an afternoon stroll. Good path, river beside it and fairly sheltered from the rain due to the trees. There is also the Soldiers Leap to view just up from it.
