Pitlochry is a beautiful town set in rural Perthshire. Largely Victorian in architecture which can especially be seen in the bustling main street. The town's location, on one of the main routes to the Highlands, does tend to make it a bit of a tourist hub with coaches frequently stopping for rest breaks and leg stretches! This does make it a bit of touristy town but it doesn't really spoil it. Pitlochry is small but has a lot to do both in the town and also nearby. There is a theatre, distillery (Bells), jewellery factory, children's funpark (summer months) and Blair Castle is only a short drive - as well as many lovely walks in the surrounding ...  Read the complete review

Lovely scenic place nestled in the east side of Scotland completely let down by the people who work there. For example: Go into woollen shop which has two floors, ground floor for men’s clothes, first floor for women’s. Ask shop assistant why ladies section is closed off – response “We should be closed for Gods sake!” We thought ok then obviously the lady is just having a bad just a one off occurrence… Next morning we try to hire a boat on the loch to do a bit of fishing from the “Pitlochry boating station” positioned on the loch down the end of “Clunie Bridge Road” Never in all my life have I met such an unpleasant mother and son ...  Read the complete review

Hidden in a glen above Pitlochry in the Southern Highlands of Scotland sits an unlikely gem in the brilliant jewels of Britain. Here stands, as it has for nearly 170 years, the smallest distillery in Scotland, perhaps the smallest legal distillery on Earth! Edradour has a history and tradition that continues to flourish. History and process of Whiskey Making: (I find this history very interesting!) It is unclear when the first Scotch whisky was distilled. However, the ancient Celts soon gave this extraordinary drink the name- “uisge beatha” - which in Gaelic means “water of life”. Anyone who has had at least a “wee dram” can testify to the life ...  Read the complete review

Pitlochry has obviously been a popular tourist sport for many years, and it’s easy to see why the town became a haven for holidaymakers. Like many places in the Lake District, and Betws-y-Coed in Wales, it has that bet-the-Victorians-loved it here feel about it, and, generally speaking, it looks like the kind of place that middle aged couples would enjoy. That’s not to say that there’s nothing to attract young families, or those looking for an active holiday, but you know what I mean – there are no rows of amusement arcades or nightclubs. The town is a lively little place, though – and there’s all the shops you could ever ...  Read the complete review
