Advantages: plenty to do and see

Disadvantages: a bit too touristy

Pitlochry is one of the most popular towns in perthsire with tourists. in the summer time the town is full of coah parties and day trippers as well as hillwalkers returning from the numerous walks around the town. It lies alongside the ruver tummel and is about 40 minutes north of Perth on the A9. A very popular climb is the hill behind the town - Ben Vrackie. The festival theatre which is situated on the side of the town puts on a variety of shows for all tastes the whole year through. The main street is very touristy, filled with woollen mills, cafes and gift shops. Worth metnioning that if you visit Pitlochry it is also worth travelling further north for about another 20 minutes where you will arrive at House of Bruar - a truly scottish shopping experience with restaurant. Accomodation is plentiful in and around the town with eveything from campsites to log cabins and 4 star hotels available to travellers

Summary: a must if travelling north of Perth
