Top 46 things to do and attractions in Pitlochry

Our guide, Cameron, was fantastic—he really made the experience. His mix of humor and knowledge created a relaxed atmosphere while still delivering plenty of interesting facts. Walking through the production areas and distillery gave us a much deeper understanding of the process. Cameron also made sure everyone understood how whisky is made—his explanation of the process chart was simple, clear, and spot-on. The tour length was just right—enough time to cover everything without feeling too long. The whisky tasting at the end was well-balanced, and we appreciated the small bottles provided for our designated driver. The gift glasses were a lovely touch. We stayed to chat with Cameron afterward in the Gift Shop and chose the 12-year single malt, which was our favorite. Overall, it was a fun and engaging experience.

I recently visited Blair Athol Distillery, and it was an absolute highlight of my trip to Scotland. The distillery itself is stunning, steeped in history, and set in a beautiful location that feels both authentic and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, the experience was smooth, well-organized, and full of charm. Our guide, Alan, made the tour unforgettable. His knowledge of whisky making was second to none, but what really stood out was the way he shared it—with warmth, humor, and a real passion for the craft. He struck the perfect balance between detailed storytelling and making sure everyone felt included, whether a seasoned whisky drinker or a first-timer. Alan didn’t just guide us through the process; he brought the distillery to life with history, local anecdotes, and a contagious enthusiasm. The tasting at the end was a fantastic way to wrap up—every dram carried depth and character, and Alan’s explanations gave me a new appreciation for the unique style of Blair Athol whisky. I left with both a deeper understanding of whisky making and a bottle to remember the experience by. If you’re anywhere near Pitlochry, make time for this distillery. It’s not just about whisky; it’s about storytelling, tradition, and people like Alan who make the experience shine. Highly recommended!

The tour was to the point but super informative, Cat answered all our questions like a true pro and the whiskey was bangin' - but mostly their team is just so kind. My brother was having back issues, so I went down early to ask if there was stool we could borrow during the tour. Someone from their team actually went through the whole distillery to make sure there was a chair in every room for him. So not just great whiskey, but also great people. We had a wonderful afternoon 🤍 (Also, try the highball at the bar! Delicious craftsmanship 👌🏻)

Very old brewery now owned by a mega corp. Small but interesting equipment that gives a good idea of the processes involved in making Scotch whiskey. Your guide was affable and pleasant. Whiskey was very good but not great. Certainly the tour was a good value and a fun way to learn about whiskey

We had a wonderful experience at the Blair Athol Whisky Distillery. María, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, explaining the process in a clear and engaging way. We tasted three different whiskies, discovering their unique aromas and undertones. The distillery itself is cosy and full of charm — overall, a fantastic experience that we highly recommend. PS: The whiskey barrel chocolates were wonderful 😋

On our way back to Edinburgh we stopped at Blair Athol Distillery. Perfect way to enjoy a very well done and friendly tour of the distillery with a super cool, friendly and knowledgeable guide. She made all of us welcome. The Whisky is unique, very tasty and brought lots of joy when we shared some with our family after. Cheers!

A thoroughly enjoyable experience! Cameron manned the bar during our tasting and made it such a fun visit. He is knowledgeable and passionate. Two of our party didn't do the tasting and still found it enjoyable and interesting. The original copper mash tun is also quite a sight. Highly recommend!

Fantastic venue. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. The Explorers garden worth a visit too. We went to see The 39 Steps. Brilliant, highly recommend. The 4 actors playing all different characters. Really enjoyed ourselves.

Absolutely lovely and so fun. An intimate stage experience with talented artists and a wonderful story. The building is clean and bright and modern in a storied landscape and garden that is entirely walkable and photo-worthy. Head over early to enjoy a leisurely stroll, a cup of tea or coffee, or a dram. The gift shop is worth perusing. Bathrooms are gendered rooms with stalls.

Lovely theatre. Easy to get to. Good toilet facilities. Lovely choice in the cafeteria. Good views. You also have a lovely garden to explore next door and not far from the dam.

Just saw 'A Toast Fae The Lassies' at Pitlochry theatre studio and it was magnificent! The acting was excellent and the singing outstanding. The musicianship was first class. The intimacy of the Pitlochry theatre studio helped, but the show deserves a national audience. Well done everyone involved, well done Pitlochry Festival Theatre!

Lovely place! Good sized shop with some gorgeous items. Beautiful theatre. Please though - more women's toilets! We saw the Great Gatsby. The cast were phenomenal.

Stumbled in to the first night of Nan Shepard and it was absolutely delightful! The audience even sang a Scottish song together. She was quite a wonderful person who is no longer lost to history. Great production! So glad I got to see it! 😁

Nice place on the way to Pitlochry dam site. There are some walking trails through the man made forest.

A very interesting visit, the walk on the dam wall has astonishing views of the river and the salmon ladder is a clever way to compensate the intrusion in their ecosystem. A visit to the visitors centre puts everything in context while you enjoy a nice coffee with a view, worth the visit!

My favourite place to stroll around in the autumn. Love to sit on the balcony with a soup, admiring the colours of autumn. The dam is a very old hydroplant, one of the oldest in Scotland - still fully functional with a fish tunnel for our salmons coming back home. Worth a visit for an afternoon.

Very nice place, easy to walk true, include a few steps so need to be careful if you have a older person or disabled. Good to see the fish ladder and the live camera footage. Didn't see anything while was there but still nice, and belive a few lucky people see the salmons passing.

Beautiful view of the river and dam, modern and informative hands-on exhibits, clean bathrooms, cafe and gift shop make this a fantastic stop. You can stay 20 minutes or 2 hours at your own pace.

Not quite what we expected! We thought it would be more based on the Dam and indeed Dam’s in general in Scotland. It had a lower museum area with an informative film about building Dam’s but no where near as much as I personally thought it would. Large cafe and gift shop of course!! Seating outside to view the Dam and a 100 step pathway (literally down steps which were even) down to the level of the water. Plenty of parking spaces and disabled parking spaces available. Toilets inside and disabled toilets. Full disability access throughout with a lift to the lower floor. As I say pleasant but not as much history and information as we personally would have liked….and I must add staff rather standoffish which is rare for Scotland I feel. As a side point the walkway over the Dam was currently closed when we visited which was no fault of the visitor centre but was disappointing

Pitlochry Dam is an absolute must-visit! The recent upgrades have made viewing the incredible salmon run so much easier and more engaging. The new facilities offer fantastic, clear views of the salmon battling upstream, making for an unforgettable experience. It's a wonderful blend of natural wonder and engineering marvel, perfect for all ages. Highly recommended!

Interesting pace to visit with information boards and interactive exhibition. Free entry and free parking (smallish carpark). Cafe is excellent (recommend the haggis pizza) and nice wee shop too

Welcome to top sirloin food where you’ll pay high price for cheap steak, small rooms, creaky floors and uncomfortable beds. Awesome view but awful food for the price. when they cleaned the room, they knock at 0900 waking us up and don’t replace basic things like the water.

Beautiful hotel, beautiful grounds. Only thing that makes it not get 5 stars is the paper thin walls and noises early in the morning from cleaners.

It's cool to learn about the hotel's history if you're a guest, but I wouldn't come all the way here if I hadn't been

This place is over priced for a stay if you book through the hotel , even tho I stayed three night it was dated and not maintained well ,tap fell off tiles floor had movement in them so to me it was three star . And spa was not even open !!!...the good points was the food was good so was the gardens and some of the staff where 5 star but one or two of them let them down . Been in better hotels for what I pay for here !!!

Boring tiny museum (a corridor basically) Not worth going out of your way to visit. Maybe if you're staying in the hotel it'll kill 5 mins

My wife and I, only glimpsed the museum in passing to the lovely pool, but it looks very interesting.The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Had afternoon tea in hotel. Very good, but pricey. Visited museum years ago, found it quite interesting.

Absolutely beautiful and unique piece! My pendant arrived safely and it’s even more stunning in person – like a little piece of wild Scottish nature captured in silver. The craftsmanship is lovely, and the team was very helpful during the customs process. Thank you for your care and kindness! Greetings from Czechia 💚

A great place for some very unique jewellery in a beautifully laid out shop setting but this has the added attraction of seeing how the jewellery is made from collecting the heather stalks through the various stages up to the finising layer of lacquer by way of a small exhibition area , well worth a visit

Bought a ring at Braemar when I was touring the highlands. The stone fell off on my second day of wearing it. Customer service was brilliant. They got back to me immediately and paid for postage to send the ring back to their warehouse. They sent me a new ring to my home address (outside of the UK). They cleared the custom charges as well.

I loved the little exhibition about how the jewelry was made and the products they make are gorgeous! The staff was also very friendly.

I was up here on a short break and was out for a walk when I stumbled upon this place.From the outside I wasn't quite sure what to make of it,then I walked in.....What a great place,especially if you are a foreign visitor(i am not)to find a beautiful and unique gift to take home(wherever that maybe).It's like taking a little piece of this beautiful country home with you,that will always remind you of you time here.If you're in Pitlochry and haven't been.Go in for a look

Fabulous jewellery shop with viewing of the staff creating their masterpieces from Heather and the processes. I bought a beautiful pair of earrings and a broach. Well worth a visit.

Interesting outfit, all gems are actually prepared Heather stems. Bought all the gifts i needed in a single shop 😇

Lovely pub. Delicious food. Lovely atmosphere, especially when ur sat next to the fire. 10/10. Dog friendly, staff are lovely. If Ryan trahan sees this then I hope he comes here. Lovely

This place is adorable and off the beaten path which made me want to love it. I tried hard but the staff were stroppy. Felt like they had already decided we were passing tourists not worthy of being there. It’s sad because we’re local and would have loved to be regulars. The place was 40% empty yet after being told to sit anywhere we then had to move to a smaller table. I wanted a side of chips and they wouldn’t serve it unless I ordered a meal- the snarky suggestion was that I order a steak. The table we wanted to sit at remained empty until we left.

Good pub good beer beautiful village. Brewery on site. Staff friendly.

The lady serving was great, and the younger guy was also polite when serving us drinks and food. The older guy with the glasses was really rude to us for no reason. We were a group of 5 guys (locals) who had just come back from climbing Ben Vrackie for the first time, never hiked anything before, and looking for some food and drinks to celebrate. We said to each other we couldn't do rounds so we're just going to pay for what we got for ourselves. The older bartender audibly said it pissed him off that we were paying separately whilst we were getting our drinks and he stepped away - it was pretty quiet. We were polite and didn't say anything. We then ordered food and had a nice time in the corner by ourselves. We stacked the dishes at the end and grouped the glasses and paid separetly, again this took barely any time to process and we left. The last guy in our group to pay told the older bartender what he was paying for and the bartender called us "the nightmare table". God forbid 5 separate customers ever enter this place and the man has to do his job. He is the only reason we left poor reviews as it just soured the entire time there. I can see this is a trend with other reviewers that staff are pretty unpleasant at times and I completely get the vibe. Meals are also pretty pricey like £20 odd for a lot of the mains.

Food ( pork and salmon) were not good and expensive. Beer was warm. Service not friendly and cold. Table was sticky and dirty. Only positive was the interior of the pub nicely decorated

Can't fault it. Excellent beer too!! And campervsn parking in the carpark

Super cozy!

Gorgeous walk, enthralling experience watching salmon. Could've spent hours here.

It's an interesting feature to allow salmon up past the dam, but they only come up once a year, round about October so don't expect to see anything any other time. There are explanation boards at the bottom of the ladder and a walkway up the side with a bridge over it to get a full view.

Every time we have a holiday in Pitlochry, we always visit the Fish Ladder, it's brilliant with or without seeing the salmon. It's amazing when the dam is in flood. The views are wonderful & you can get some fabulous photos. Looking forward to visiting the Pitlochry Fish Ladder next year

Great walk alongside the river and over the dam. Fantastic views. Lovely town to walk through with plenty of refreshment stops. Easily accessible by car or train.

Lovely scenery beautiful place and very interesting watching the salmon go up the ladder

An Ingeneous set of pools designed that the salmon will swim up round the side of the Pitlochry dam , they swim through pipes in the bottom of the pools so they will unlikely be spotted jumping , a display at the bottom of the slope illustrates the lifestyle of the Atlantic salmon and points out the various stages of its life cycle

I really enjoy these types of places, so I can't complain, but may be a bit boring for others. Didn't see any salmon out of the water as the "ladder" has been designed so the swim underneath the surface. There is a live cam feed at the bottom of the river embankment, which was cool to see them actually going through. Free to visit so definitely worth a neb.

Awesome whiskey tasting!!! They have a set of preselect flights that you can do, however, I wanted certain styles (eg ex bourbon cask, medium peat, etc) that I prefer and they were willing to accommodate. They are knowledgeable and the prices are good.

We were here on Sept 1st, 2023. I thought it was one of the best Whisky Tasting experience I've had. John was awesome and passionate and thus made our overall experience that much better. They are very flexible & accommodative and have great selections.

We participated in a tasting. We got so much more. The knowledge Ewan generously shared with us was amazing. He is very kind and professional. Highly recommend stopping in to his shop. If you have the time, ask about their tastings. I was impressed!!

30 years ago I would have made a trip to Pitlochry just to visit Robertson’s. It WAS in my opinion the best whisky shop in the country. Now it’s changed direction focusing on tastings. Whilst I think this has diminished the shop, I get it, but for me who loved to Just browse the vast range, it is definitely not as good as it was. I am however sure it will offer a great experience to those looking to learn more about whisky. Thanks Ewan for taking the time to respond.

Robertsons of Pitlochry - as always, an absolutely marvellous experience! The Big Whisky Weekend more than fulfilled all expectations - with information, discussions and three top-class tastings 🥃. And all for a really fair and favourable price. The unbelievably wonderful team is always on hand to answer questions or give advice with great expertise. We are already looking 😍 forward to our next trip and seeing you again! Best wishes from the Black Forest 🌲🌲

Amazing experience! We came all the way from Argentina, and the attention we received from David was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us choose a bottle of Edradour 12 — which we loved! Thank you for such a great experience!

Great whiskies and very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff

Nice little hike and decent waterfall. There is a trail network past the fall of you’d like to keep going. Nice loop trail options, lots of shade!

Very pretty waterfall. The walk-up wasn't the most challenging, but make sure you have good footwear. There were a lot of hiking trails around, too. Not too crowded either!

Beautiful view, worth to visit!

Beautiful forest and waterfall would highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful. Not wheelchair friendly or for those aren't physically able. Good 15 min uphill walk. Very manageable. You can see the waterfall clearly from a ledge but if you continue up the path you get pretty much get on the waterfall. Free parking

Surprisingly impressive falls, solid trail, overlook

Easy walk up to the waterfall just minutes from Pitlochry

December 2024: Worth a visit if in the area. Lovely interactive (free) visitor centre and cafe on site. It is possible to walk across the dam wall, look into the pumping area and also see the salmon ladder. Great views on a clear day. A nice, peaceful attraction to visit. Car park on site next to the visitor centre or more car parks further in town a short walk away. Hope to revisit and see the dam in operation one day!

It is a small dam but perfectly formed, with main generation plant in behind the dam itself and windows along the walkway allow you to view inside, but not a lot to see. There are large booms across the loch to keep logs from doing damage and paths from here go round Loch Faskally so a good walking area. There is a new visitor centre if you want to find out more.

A small working hydroelectric dam with a great visitor centre and a salmon leap series of pools , you can walk right over the top looking at the recently created loch Faskelly and down the Tummel valley

Beautiful area to have a walk, watch the salmons and relax. The surrounding area is just beautiful, with a couple of bars and the Fonab Castle Hotel near by (a bad place to work, but beautiful place stay).

It’s nice to visit if you’re in the area, it’s a nice opportunity for a pretty walk on either sides of the dam. Was nothing break taking though, so if you’re on a time crunch I’d miss this.

Great view just popped in as I was passing cafe is reasonably priced too if you need a rest stop

Note so special. Not recommended. Just a dam

Played the pairs open at Pitlochry today. The course was in great condition. Fairways were like carpets and the greens were superb. Staff in the pro shop and bar were really friendly. Tried the food after the golf. We both had burgers. They had been pre cooked and reheated and the cheese was cremated. Not good value for what we paid. Overall great day and will definitely return ⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️

Extremely fun golf course. Very friendly pro shop got me set up with a surprisingly nice set of rental clubs as I was traveling. Course isn't long, but makes it challenging with layout. Almost no even lies in the fairways. Greens are fast and subtle. Elevation changes makes short holes long, and some par 4s drivable. Whipping winds added a layer too. Absolutely thrilled I got to check off a bucket list item of playing golf in Scotland and didn't have to break the back to have an awesome afternoon, and weather was gorgeous. Writing this review while enjoying a pint and watching the Women's Open at St Andrews on the projector screen in the clubhouse restaurant. A great day for golf!

Lovely setting, gorgeous views! Range is perfect when raining.. well covered !! Short iron range is a great addition and putting green in great condition. Pro shop is well stocked, membership price is more than decent - only downside is visitor green fee is slightly too dear for me to try this time 🥲 but the course looks pristine !! 🤩 Update: Played the course today with my son.. in great condition for the time of year, course layout was fantastic with challenging playing yardages! Pro was great and food after was lovely 👌 would love to play again !!

Visited whilst on holiday, really looking forward to using the driving range. Venue looked great but unfortunately they do not hire clubs out as per the website ‘Our family friendly facility has clubs available for hire and is open 7 days a week from dawn till dusk.’ Disappointing due to the misinformation, would recommend you update this to avoid wasting peoples time. Venue looked lovely.

A very warm welcome by the pro shop, reduced green fee in the afternoon / twilight. Not busy at all and it was a perfect 🌞 day. The course is a gem right in the heart of Scotland. It might seem short, but challenging nonetheless. Prepare to take some photos/videos of the stunning scenery. Highly recommended!!

Played 18 holes late afternoon. Would have liked to go back a day later but the prices for a morning round were double, even given itcwas not busy. It's a pretty course with some interesting holes, beware the first couple as it's uphill all the way.

Scenic course in the scottish highlands. Due to it being in the mountains, expect alot of elevations changes. One is constantly shooting up or down hill, which is plenty fun but also rather challenging. As it is a less known course, it gives off a more relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Definitely give this course a try if you’re looking for a change from the typical links course.

Discovered this bookshop by happy accident today. The volunteer working today was a lovely chatty, friendly woman, who told us about the bookshop and the money raised for charity over the years. The price of the books are superb and they are in great condition. I enjoyed my random trip to Pitlochry today, the walk along the river was lovely, lunch at the Dam visitor centre was good, the bookshop was the absolute highlight and will be a reason I end up on a train to Pitlochry one day.

An absolutely stunning bookshop right at the railway. Cozy interior with a lot of different books to choose from, I found everything from travel guides to classic literature and children’s books. The woman inside was really really nice and I am still amazed by the minimal to none damage of the titles, especially for these prices. I bought a novel and a signed poem collection about this city, Pitlochry. There was a lot of literature by and about locals, which I haven’t see in any bookshop like this before! I can only love and respect the work of store, giving the donations a second chance to be appreciated. All in all just a fantastic visit!

If only more railway stations had a bookshop like this. I had about thirty mins to wait for my next train. This charity bookshop is run by volunteers and it is wonderful to visit. They have taken time to organise all the books into sections and the two ladies were very chatty the day I visited. The bookshop supports some local charities like Shop Mobility Pitlochry they also support Cancer Research and a number of other charities. As I said the bookshop is run by volunteers and you can leave a donation towards the upkeep of the bookshop. This bookshop should be on every book lovers bucket list.

Great little shop. Wanted a book by a specific author and yes, they had an unread copy for a £1. So pleased! Lovely lady volunteer in the shop went out of her way to help and have a chat.

A great shop! Friendly Personal and a wide collection of books

A great little bookshop run entirely by volunteers. You need to go onto the platform to enter the shop, it's a must see if you visit Pitlochry for any time. All the money raised goes to charity.

Cosy little charity book shop! Tricky to find as you need to go onto the platform to enter

Giod selection of water based activities, plenty to hire and a very picturesque setting to explore. Nice cafe for afters. No online booking so you have to contact via telephone, proved tricky 1 day, was fine the other

Gentlemen, the day we spent rafting with you was one of the most beautiful days in Scotland. Thank you again for a wonderful adventure, and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

I previously rented a boat last year and was met with a less than friendly welcome. However I was able to hire a boat which was the point of this excursion. Today I returned to do the same thing and was met with the less than friendly welcome from last year. However today I was told that it was out of season and no boats were available for hire. This was all presented matter of factly without a smile, sorry for the inconvenience or a friendly invite to enjoy their other facilities. I tried to point out that I had hired a boat the previous year at this time, this was not even acknowledged and in fact the lady was already turning her back on me and walking away I was talking. May I point out there was no one else there to ‘distract’ After reading other reviews I fully expect a dissertation pointing out all the ways I am wrong and it is all my fault. May I suggest alternatively using that wasted time by practicing customer facing skills.

Absolutely gorgeous spot! Had delicious soup and bloomer bread cut into door steps. I believe it was sweet potato coconut and chilli. Mister had a breakfast sandwich which he enjoyed.

First time travelling up to the Cairngorms and stopped at Pitlochry boating Station for a bite to eat and ended up hiring a boat for an hour. Such a beautiful place and the staff there were very friendly. Stunning views and surroundings and very reasonably priced. Recommended to walkers and water enthusiasts.

Great place, delicious coffee and amazing views. Just don't advice to go near closing time (5 o'clock), owner gives clues to leave in a bit rude way. You can also buy special food for ducks and feed them.

We hired a rowing boat for an hour. Nice location, but the basic red rowing boat we had didn't have a footrest, so the rowing was a lot harder than it needed to be! Got kinda used to bracing my feet on the side, but not ideal! Nice staff, but disappointing experience unfortunately. 🫤

We visited in mid May which is a good time to go to the garden. Many interesting plants - well cared for - with labels and plaques linking the plants to the explorers who brought them here. A plan is available as a guide to the gatden. There are many seats if you need a rest. Portaloos available. There are some steepish slopes which have steps. These areas I would not recommend for someone needing to use a walker or a wheelchair. There are no gravel paths for wheels to get mired in. Followng our visit we enjoyed a lunch at the theatre closeby.

A very interesting and varied display of plants and trees from all over the world that were discovered by Scottish horticultural explorers hence the name, we were there in mid Aug and possibly missed the best of the plants so have planned to go back in May , lots of display boards and info sheets tell the story of the explorers and theres plenty of seats and quiet areas to take in the well maintained and well designed garden areas. We especially liked the Japanese and Himalayan areas with the temple and dragon carvings

The gardens are a thoroughly enjoyable place to visit. Despite being on the side of a hill it's still fairly accessible for those with a wheelchair as long as there's a strong pusher! It's interesting and tranquil with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings! I would recommend it as a visit in itself or a place to go for an hour or more before or after a show at the theatre!

Fantastic gardens covering plants from around the world, red squirrels, peace and quiet, birdsong , plenty of seating , well worth the admission fee.

Great wee garden to explore, lots of different plants and garden features to look round, staff very friendly, If in the area definitely worth a wee visit

Well laid out explorers garden, lots of information available as well as lots of seating (some sculptural) and architectural buildings.

Garden was lovely and peaceful. A surprise find so close to the A9 and busy Pitlochry. My wee one loved searching for the red squirrels and exploring the wee dens or activity areas of the garden. Would love to visit again in spring / summer when everything is in bloom.

We would like to send thanks to the kind man whose name we unfortunately do not have, but who worked on 8/23/2025 in the center, for the help we received in getting in touch with the owner of Ashintully. You made our day Timo and Aldona, Malmö Sweden

This was a completely unexpected gem to find in Pitlochry - happy and helpful staff, with fantastic interactive nature information stands. They had an array of brilliant nature books for all ages - we made several purchases!

As a JMT member, I always like to buy my Christmas stuff from your shop. However, Today I am experiencing great difficulty, as your shop and Sage sites seem to be behaving in a most unhelpful way. I am having to resort to antiquated ways in order to resolve matters - most frustrating and disappointing.

Really beautiful place to have a look at. Great information boards and art gallery. The works on exhibition change every few months.

Great and informative for all

Very interesting displays, loved this place.

Wonderful place with a lot of information and friendly staff. Even for toddlers is interesting 😉

Great place to spend about an hour doing some long fun putting- great for all family members-no golfing experience required !!

Brilliant little putting green. 18 holes and Good fun for all ages with a good mix of difficulty. The man running the green is really friendly. Also it is dog friendly.

Lovely little putting course. Reasonable price too. Nice way to spend a little while playing. Next to the Pitlochry market and the salmon ladder.

The most difficult course I have played. 18 tortuous holes which are thoroughly enjoyable.

Absolutely brilliant, lots of undulations. Great way to spend an hour. £5 for an adult

Relaxing, enjoyable putting course. We'll worth visiting!

Great fun with the family. We have our annual putting competition. And the gentleman there kindly took a family photo.

Lovely shop with lots of beautiful things for either gifts or to treat yourself

(Translated by Google) Commercial and almost no wool products available. (Original) Commercieel en bijna geen wollen producten te krijgen.

Fab tasty lunch. Was fine with the dog -got us some water. Food was great and we felt like being abroad so their slogan pitlochry answer to Mediterranean was true. Great service. Very relaxing lunch and delicious Irish and French coffee

We loved our mezze starters, then the main courses arrived - wow! My partner had the roast lamb and mash and I had venison. Scottish country fare at its finest. Delish - off you go!

Tried haggis meals and tattles for the first time has loved it. The best tiramisu we’ve had in a long time. Gorgeous building inside and out. Great service. Highly recommended

We had been absolutely exhausted after a long hike in Glencoe. Despite us being 1hr late with traffic they kept our booking kindly and I’m so happy they did! The venue is stunning, elegant and cozy with an infectious atmosphere. The food…sublime! Mouthwatering, diverse options and excellent value. Ended with the best tiramisu I’ve ever had and a delicious local Aberfeldy whiskey. Our waitress was very attentive and warm; she even gave us tips on whiskey drinking! Will definitely be visiting again :)

We visited this restaurant for our anniversary! Food is amazing. I had the duck and my husband had venison. Definitely the best meal we've tasted in ages! Staff are fantastic and the atmosphere is brilliant! Thank you to you all for a lovely evening....even the singing by staff and customers to say congratulations was a lovely touch. We definitely will be back and have recommended your restaurant to so many people. Thank you. Heather & John McInally

Second visit recently and once again the food was outstanding and the wine too… lovely relaxed service and good choice of menu . Highly recommend.

We had originally planned to dine elsewhere, but since their kitchen was closed, we decided to try this restaurant instead—and we’re so glad we did! It turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food truly stood out. We ordered the halloumi burger, fish and chips, and a Greek salad. Everything was absolutely delicious and arrived very quickly. Highly recommended!

This cafe's toilet was great. It was very spaceous and clean. It had the basics (toilet paper, soap and a working lock) and it was free. After washing your hands, you even have a choice. They both have paper towels and an air blower. The reason why I'm only giving them 4 stars is because there were only 2 toilets. One for men and one for everyone (including disabled people and it had a baby changing table).

Very nice little coffee shop well worth a visit. Excellent pastries, perfect cappuccino, friendly staff. They went above and beyond by warming the banana cinnamon loaf -- yummy!

I really loved this place! Perfect for a cozy lunch on a dreich day as very colourful inside with local artwork to purchase. Best Cullen Skink I've had in years -- could tell it was freshly made. Cakes were lovely, flat white coffee very good. Generous portions for everything, so I thought prices were reasonable. I plan to go back.

Warm, cozy and well decorated café. As a dog lover, I really appreciate all the dog photos in the corridor ❤️ the drinks and cakes are delicious, the staff is friendly and efficient. I really enjoy the tea time in this café in the cute city of Pitlochry 😊

Cafe Calluna in Pitlochry is the perfect retreat for travellers craving charm and comfort. Tucked into 90 Atholl Road, its warm and cosy interior—decked out with vintage furniture, fairy lights and quirky décor—instantly makes you feel at home. The menu is a delight: homemade soups, sourdough sandwiches, freshly baked cakes, and excellent coffee (locally roasted Glen Lyon beans) cater for all tastes. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Dog-friendly too, so paws are welcome! Whether you’re stopping for a quick pick-me-up or lingering over an afternoon tea, it’s a gem not to be missed.

A very friendly little place, not too many tables, and really good service. A pleasant atmosphere to sit in. Coffee was tasty! Their story on the menu mentions that most of their food is locally sourced, so big bonus points for that. Dog friendly, very friendly! Their toilets have a wall of polaroids of dogs that have visited which is just fantastic Only reason for food being rated 4/5 is that their lunch choices felt quite limited. The food itself was good

“Super dog friendly “ we had coffee and cake. Marni ( our dog ) was spoiled by all the Friendly staff. Her photo was taken and placed on the Dog visitor wall. The home baking was sublime . Highly recommended Thanks again Graham, Sandra & Marni See you all next time we are in town

Located about a 10 minute walk from the Port-na-Craig suspension bridge, it’s definitely worth a visit if interested in Pictish remains or old monuments more generally. The information board at the site does the job nicely and gives decent background info. Access is through farm road and up around 20 or so steps. Family cemetery to rear of stone also worth a quick look.

Nice little hidden gem which doesn’t seem to get many visitors. Located a short walk (10/15mins) outside of Pitlochry or a 5 min drive.There is parking for 1/2 cars just inside gates and then it’s a short walk up farm road. Located on a working farm so watch out for farm traffic. Access to stone is via a steep staircase but it’s worth the climb. Also site of what looks like family graves. Stone is behind glass and covered for its protection with a good information plaque.

Lovely wee hidden treasure, the stone is located up a steep set of steps so not great if you have mobility issues. Parking seemed to be in the farm yard at the bottom of the hill. The stone is protected behind glass there is a information Notice to explain. There is a lovely wee private cemetery located next to the stone.

Lovely little site, rarely visited. Easy access from Pitlochry

The Dunfallandy Stone is a Class II Pictish Stone aged around 600-843 during the Christian-Pictish era. On one side of the stone depicts a stag, Jonah being swallowed by a fish-tailed Ketos (an early Christian version of the biblical whale), two cherubim, and large Celtic cross with circular cross in the middle and on the other side is an enthroned couple, a horseman, several Pictish beasts, crescent moon and V-Rod, iron working tools, and mirrored Carnyx the Celtic wind instrument.

A fair walk up a very nimble staircase to reach the stone lovely wee churchyard

This is not too far out of Pitlochry and a must for those with an interest in Scottish history. We’ve visited many standing stones but none were as detailed as this. Amazing that something as old as this can still be so beautiful and designs so clear. There is a small hill and about 50 steps to climb, but worth the effort! A small lay-by to park in by the road, and a lovely descriptive board by the stone, no other facilities.

The staff was very kind. Athlete's we fun to watch. Parking was crazy far. Not many friendly people. Weather changed 20x. Beautiful terrain.

A Great day out with lots of activities going on, spent the whole day here and stayed overnight in Pitlochry.

Watch and follow the bands before the games, well organised

(Translated by Google) Original Highland Games in a relaxed, family atmosphere. If the weather is good, it's a must for tourists to Scotland. Bagpipe competitions, tug-of-war, dancing and flying tree trunks - there is something to see everywhere. Delicious food, some from local clubs/schools, and drinks round off the experience. Clear recommendation! (Original) Original Highland Games in entspannter, familiärer Atmosphäre. Wenn dann auch noch das Wetter mitspielt ein Muss für den Schottlandtouristen. Dudelsackwettbewerbe, Tauziehen, Tanz und fliegende Baumstämme - es gibt an jeder Stelle etwas zu gucken. Leckeres Essen, zT von ansässigen Vereinen/Schulen, und Trinken runden das Erlebnis ab. Klare Empfehlung!

(Translated by Google) Something you must see. Despite the somewhat bad weather, it is still worth being there. (Original) Iets wat je gezien moet hebben. Ondanks het wat mindere weer, toch de moeite waard om er te zijn.

Had to make a distress stop on our LEJOG journey with an ailing bottom bracket. The guys couldn;t replace it because of exotic parts but workshop man did a great patch-up at short notice which definitely got me to John o'Groats. Thank you!!!

Tried here as our last stop before driving home from holiday. It was raining, so we wanted somewhere to sit in. There is seating indoor and outdoor, the outdoor seating is covered over, so you can still sit out if it's rainy but warm! There were 7 of us, so we got sat together inside at a large bench. You order and pay at the counter, with meals then brought out to you. The staff were lovely and chatty and happy. At first glance, we thought some of the menu was priced slightly high. It was near £9 for a sandwich.... but... When the sandwiches came out, wow, they were like doorstops!! Overflowing with filling, they come in a large bowl with tortilla and a lovely fresh salad, the bread was so thick, gorgeous and soft! I also ordered a scone, which was huge! Maybe that was a mistake without knowing how big the sandwiches were going to be! Haha! Overall, we all absolutely enjoyed our food and thought the service was great! We will definitely be back next time we are in town! 5*

Service, speed, attention to detail and engagement like this is hard to find! Oh and they serve great coffee too! We were next door at Jessie’s cafe travelling from Lands End to John O’Groats when I popped in with some niggles on my bike. Sorted before I could finish my sourdough toast!

Loved everything about this cafe! Atmosphere, coffee, flavourful food and the service. Lovely steak ciabatta, fries were so well cooked and flavoured and slad dressing was top notch. My partner had a pizza and it was good too. Definitely coming back when in area.

Nice little cafe with wonderful selection of bakes. Simple wooden tables and metal chairs so not the most plush place, but staff are very friendly. Marked parking on the road right outside. Ramp into cafe with double doors so wheelchair friendly but not a nonslip floor in the disabled toilet. Connected to Escape Route bike shop

Excellent service! I’m cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats. Had a few issues with my bike including my brakes! Pulled into Escape Route and the team there had it all sorted. I was soon back on the road, really friendly helpful team. Many thanks guys.

We rented three e-bikes and took a 30 mile trip to glen tilt. Kevin was professional, kind and accommodating— when we arrived later than expected and asked to change our reservations to the next day, we expected to pay for the privilege, but Kevin not only allowed us to switch but also suggested we take the bikes that afternoon so we could get an early start the next day. The scenery was unbelievable and the bikes were finely tuned and a pleasure to ride. 100% amazing experience! We’ll be back!

Nice & Quite Town with loads of designer outlets, Nice big gift shops but almost no halal food for muslims visitors also mostly restaurant even fish & chips opened at after 2 -5 pm. If anyone is coming here be prepared to eat greggs only ... 😋

Some stalls have card machines others not. So many lovely products on sale. Ample parking for £2 per hour (cash only). Nearby toilets at 50p. Overall jolly experience i was pleased we stumbled across the wee market with all the friendly sellers.

Bought some lovely earrings for my wife , birthstones & some lovely chai tea, clootie dumpling flavour!

Lovely friendly Market good selection of stalls highly recommend a visit

Nice wee market with all local handmade products. Worth a visit if you are in town.

go in there and you will be surrounded by kind, lovely and supportive people.

Very small and overpriced probably just set up to take money from tourists

If you are in Pitlochry then you must visit this place . Dam is so beautiful. I was amazed by the technology used to show live salmon feed on screen love lick bridge is stunning!

Nice fish ladder but the walking area need serious maintainance.

Beautiful place. Work being carried out at the moment on the dam, but stunning views

Very interesting walk over the dam and seeing the salmon ladder. Beautiful forest scenes behind the dam. The Pitlochry fish ladder is a fish ladder next to the Pitlochry Power Station, near Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, which allows salmon to travel upstream during the breeding season. The ladder was constructed as a result of a 1943 Act of Parliament which laid a duty of care on the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board to preserve fish stocks in the waterways encompassing its power schemes. The form and design were created by the fish biologist John Berry. It was completed in 1951 alongside the dam for the hydro-electric power station as part of the Tummel hydro-electric power scheme and was installed in 1952. It was the first of its type in Scotland.

Salmon ladder part of Pitlochry HEP system. Fascinating - all explained in adjacent new visitor centre. In centre of superb network of walks.

Awesome piece of engineering, sadly the cafe was closed when we got there. Maybe it’s seasonal but I was gutted haha

Visited late but still had a great walk and spectacular views, planning another visit.

Caroline was very helpful staying open an extra 5 minutes for me to purchase my refill and soaps! Ended up getting the gorgeous Raspberry body wash as well as some Hebridean soap and lemon balm and ginger hand wash. The highland soap company have an environmental ethics with their discharging which I love, using sugar cane instead of plastic. Lovely lovely shop. In aviemore too!

Its good. Nothing to write home about. If you are going to explore soaps and gins, go ahead. The food is so so.

Lovely staff here. Great soap, eco friendly ingredients sourced in Scotland. Worth the price to me. You can buy refills and it lasts ages. I switched to HSC being concerned how much pollution our cosmetics put into our environment, now I'm much happier :)

An absolutely fantastic shop! A great selection of items. The honey whiskey products are my favourite! Plus the lady running the shop is lovely. 😁

Oh my goodness!! I first learned about these products in the Isle of Skye, at a B&B, so I was so pleased to find a whole store selling them in Pitlochry, Scotland!! They’re wonderful! I am allergic to everything, but not this! The Hebridean Seaweed hand soap and lotion is amazing!

Super good and authentic stuff. Sam was very helpful helping us three guys getting gifts for our girlfriends. Amazing scents.

Wonderful shop with friendly and knowledgable staff. Wide variety of organic products. Particularly pleased with the Beevive keyrings we discovered there. Definitely worth visiting

Good spot to eat lunch/dinner. It has a good atmosphere and it’s near the main street. The meat that I had was delicious.

I struggled with whether to give this restaurant a 2-star or a 3-star rating. The restaurant is beautiful both outside and inside. We were greeted and seated right away and service went downhill quickly from there. A server approach our table and asked if we wanted food and told us he would get us menus. He brought menus, water, explained the specials as if he was in a hurry, took our drink orders, and then completely disappeared. Another server took our food orders; and yet another server brought our drinks about 15 minutes after the order for them was placed. My husband got the Monk fish special and I got the filet special. Our meals were plates beautifully, but had zero (and I truly mean zero) flavor. My filet was very tender and after I added salt and pepper it was much better, but the other items were so void of flavor that even salt and pepper didn't help. After some discussion, my husband and I agreed this is the worst meal we have had during our vacation in beautiful Scotland.

Magnificent atmosphere!! Very nice place. I really enjoyed having dinner there. The door was was open so it got a bit cold inside during the evening.

Restuarant is busy and popular but expensive (as are all restaurants in Pitlochry). £22 for dry fish and chips, £20 for smallish portion of scampi. In both cases some of the chips were scrapings and the mushy peas were just a garnish not a portion. Also cold. £30 for house red wine is taking the Mick. Obviously prices geared to taking full advantage of the tourists and I suspect it is the same elsewhere in Pitlochry as menus in other restarts similarly priced. Service fine but atmosphere at bit 1980s.

I had fish and chips which cannot go wrong in UK but it did. For the first time ever of eating countless times and in UK, I had bones in my fish which were small and could have easily gone and stuck int he throat. The fish was also very very oily. Moreover, it was very pricey. Not going back to this place for food. 2 stars is for the fries.

No complaints from me at all for The Old Mill. I was really happy with my food choices. Chicken wings with a spicy dip, Belly of Pork, and a rhubarb and apple crumble. All bang on choices. The service was very good and efficient.

Stopped in for drinks prior to the enchanted forest. Very crowded but waited a few mins for a seat at the bar. Standard drinks, cocktails were very sweet. Would go back and sit outside for lunch.

I recently ordered flowers for my wife’s birthday and I was impressed! The arrangement was absolutely beautiful, the delivery was prompt, and the delivery person was courteous and professional. I also appreciated the personalized note that came with the flowers. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future!" Additionally, thank you so much for a wonderful surprise.

Rang Flur for a bouquet to be delivered to a hotel prior to our weekend celebrations. The service was fantastic and the arrangement made for us was beautiful. Highly recommend

I was looking for the flowers, left it very last minute. Flur Florist saved my day with the beautiful & cheerful bouquet, which was very much enjoyed by recipient. Super happy!!! Many thanks.

Ordered flowers for my mother, whom is in the local nursing home. Ordering was so easy to do on the website and delivered on the day I asked for. My mother loved her flowers and it brightened up her day. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful flowers, telephoned Flur’s and placed my order, they came up with the goods. My wife is delighted with the bouquet, it brought a tear to her eye. Thank you very much Flur’s.

I received the most stunning bouquet of flowers from Flur Pitlochry. They are still looking beautiful over a week since delivered. Highly recommend this florist in Pitlochry.

We used Flur for our wedding flowers and are so glad we did. Fiona made everything so easy, even setting up a Pinterest board to drop in ideas, and not being phased at all when we had to switch things up due to COVID. We gave her full creative licence and wow, she delivered with bright blooms which looked incredible in photos and that gained plenty of compliments. I highly recommend Flur, not only for wedding floristry, but for all occasions.

Ben Vrackie in Pitlochry offers an unforgettable mountain trekking experience in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. The route takes you through lush meadows, serene lochs, and enchanting tiny forests, providing a perfect mix of natural beauty. The panoramic views from the summit are absolutely stunning, offering a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding landscape. It’s a challenging yet rewarding hike, ideal for nature lovers and adventure seekers looking to immerse themselves in Scotland’s rugged wilderness. Whether you're enjoying the peaceful solitude of the woods or the breathtaking vistas, Ben Vrackie is a true gem for outdoor enthusiasts.

A great climb, an initial walk through woodland before opening out to Moorland with a fairly easy path. Good walk up to the Loch before ascending up rocky steps all the way to the summit. It's quite a steep climb, and sadly, we saw nothing due the usual Scottish weather. So I guess might need to re-climb sometime 😅. Took us 2.5hrs up & down, approx 10km walk

Beautiful hike! We had great weather which helps 😊. A little bit windy near the top. From Pitlochry downtown it took us 5h to climb up and back (with a lunch break).

Walk to Loch a'Choire is pleasant and not overly steep. Once at the Loch the 'real' climb up Ben Vrackie starts. It is mostly stone steps, but up hill all the way! Stunning views from the top. Cool and windy at the top... so dress appropriate and be prepared for changing weather... hot walking up, cool and blowy and top, and pleasant walking down! It was dry under foot so was not slippery except for the odd few loose stones.

Ben Vrackie is a great walk if you are visiting Pitlochry. A relatively easy walk out and back from the carpark can be completed in a couple of hours. Ben Vrackie is just shy of being a Munro and the weather at the top can be very different to the weather at the bottom so pack for all weathers.

Brilliant walk does get tough just before the top but worth it for the view

I think it took me an hour walking to get to the actual steep mountain (which I didn’t climb because it was soo windy I would have blown off the mountain lol), but it is still worth it for amazing gorgeous views!! All you can is hills, it’s great for some away time from civilisation for a bit! It is pretty upwards but not steep, i didn’t find it hard, but other people had to stop along the way. wrap up warm because it can get cold and windy! also in some parts have to mindful of poopoos

Lovely stuff, albeit on the expensive side. I've passed it for years, so finally went inside. I probably won't be back as the owner has some attitude on her! It culminated in me buying something and saying "have a nice evening" with a smile. Her response? "Yes, I will" and then closed and locked the door behind me! I wasn't even in the shop for 5 mins, so not sure what her problem was...

Nice shop, really lovely products from local artists, but the woman behind the desk really gave of the overwhelming feeling of hate for all living things (aside from the cute dog that was wandering around, which I’m sure she treats well)

The selection is alright and everything is definitely on the expensive side. There were one or two things that were interesting but the value just isn't there. Overall, there are better shops in town so I'd skip this one unless you have a ton of time

When you reach Pitlochry on the way up the A9 you undoubtedly know that you are in the Highlands. Surrounded by hills, trees, lochs and rivers you really become captivated by all that Scotland is. If your heart is in the Highlands (along with the rest of your body) we heartily recommend you pop in and visit the lovely Vicki, owner of Honest Thistle. You will want a wee souvenir of your trip, and Vicki’s beautifully stocked, contemporary gift and homewares shop is the perfect place to discover some Highland treasures.

Lovely wee shoppie , owner and her wee doggie very helpful and the bespoke items are just lush defo worth a visit if yer near by

Cute little shop. Very clean.

What a great wee shop!

Opening and closure times completely arbitrary. Intentionally driven there numerous times only to find a closed door and no information whatsoever except if you dive deep into their Facebook account. Very frustrating and disappointing.

A regular visitor here - buy all my kitchen and bathroom staples. Great to just buy a bit of something so it's always fresh

Great shop and what the world needs more of, will definitely use going forwards.

Very friendly staff. Great products.

This isn't a real car park- its a small gravelled spot off a small road with parking for maybe 2 vehicles. Good starting spot for the Craigower circular path.

A tiny gravel lay by behind a golf course. Accessible only through Pitlochry. Follow the yellow arrows to the Craigower peak viewpoint. A route through the forest, not technically difficult but exerting. Worth it for the stunning views.

Barely a car park, just a patch of ground next to the road with space for 3-4 cars. But, if there's a space it does the job.

Much smaller than it used to be as some rubble dumped on half of the parking area. Now all overgrown and people starting to park on verges. Please reinstate the original space

Can barely call this a car park, fits about 3 cars... Park at the Ben Vrackie car park instead, a tad further east.

Enough space for 3 cars, been lucky enough to get a space on both my visits

My husband and I had the most incredible experience with Heartland Tours! Eddie went above and beyond to give us a personalized tour of the beautiful Scottish countryside and fascinating historical sites. His knowledge, passion, and warmth made the day truly special. He was also incredibly accommodating, even picking us up in Edinburgh to make everything easy and stress-free. If you want an authentic, memorable, and completely tailored Scottish tour, Eddie is the person to book with. Everyone should do his tour — it’s an unforgettable way to experience Scotland!

My family/friends and I recently visited Scotland. Eddie @ Heartland Tours was handpicked by my longtime friend George (our most, ahem, particular and trusted plan master of our group) after months of planning and researching. For nearly two weeks across nearly the entire country, Eddie of Heartland Tours was there every step, stop, and stumble along the way... and very punctual, I might add. He was so warm and friendly, accommodating/flexible and extremely knowledgeable. Wow! He was a perfect fit for us... ALL 5 of my crazy bunch! He helped make our trip one for the books... and I feel as though he's life-long "friend" after our adventure! Cheers, Eddie!

Eddie was amazing guide! Despite being unexpectedly hit with a once in a century storm, he was able to flexibly plan around this. He has a deep understanding of local history and an amazing grasp of local culture! We were in a situation where there was nearly no path out of Scotland due to the weather and Eddie safely navigated is from the highlands to the airport in time for one of the last flights out before the worst of the storm hit.

Wherever you want to go in the Highlands call Eddie for bespoke tours have used him many times

Stunning views to just look out at and take a moment to appreciate our beautiful country 🥰 we managed to get my dad up In his wheelchair and he wanted to stand and take the view in 💙 we arrived just as the shop/cafe closed so didn’t get into have a wee look. You have to pay for parking here as well.

Excellent views from the viewpoint. The staff at the visitor centre were very pleasant and helpful. We had a lovely lunch at the cafe. The good weather allowed us to use the outside tables which we enjoyed very much in the early Autumn sunshine.👍

The Views Alone makes this Beautiful place 😍 a Must Visit.... Easy parking, very Reasonable price, pre pay online, and from the Car park only a very short walk to one of the Finest Views in Scotland..... Take a few Minutes, and let it sink in..... the Views down Loch Tummel and Schiehallion are Breathtaking.... There is a Ramp for Wheelchair ♿️ Access, and if you happen to visit on a Glorious Autumn 🍁🍁🍂🍂🔥🔥you'll be lost for Words..... There is a Small visitor centre, and Coffee ☕️ Shop, with a good range of Hot Drinks and Homebaking.... Enjoy 😉it's a Fabulous Location 👌

This place really lives up to the hype. Amazing viewpoint and an easy, quick walk. Maximum pay-off for minimum effort 👌 Pay to park in the car park but happy to support maintenance/access of such beautiful places in Scotland. Short stay option was only £3 for 6 hours I think. Sure there are many longer walks to do there but we didn't have time on our visit.

Beautiful view point, it is a must see place if you round this area. Easy walk from the carpark. Only a few minutes it takes. Nice coffee to grab something to eat or drink.

Queen’s View is definitely worth visiting! The views of Loch Tummel are absolutely stunning, and it’s an easy, short walk to the viewpoint. When we visited, it wasn’t crowded. There’s a lovely small café and gift shop nearby—just remember to pay for parking.

Nice cafe and lovely staff. Real shame about the £3 car parking charge. There is no real warning about payment untill you enter the car park and the camera captures your reg immediately so you can't turn around.

We had a fantastic experience at Blair Castle, the castle and gardens were all absolutely stunning and well maintained. The castle one way system really helped to see everything and it was well curated, each room highlighting a limited time period or individual family member. The gardens, especially the shady forest area, looked incredible on a blazing hot day. Walking under the massive trees to the sound of the piper was atmospheric to say the least. Well worth the price to help maintain this magnificent place.

I don’t know how we’ve missed this place on past trips. It’s incredible. We only did the grounds and could have easily spent a day just on the grounds. The tall trees are breathtaking. The garden was still interesting, even though it’s starting to head into dormancy. You truly need a few hours to really explore everything. There is a nice children’s play area too. We will definitely plan for a full day there on our next trip!

We went here for the Highland Games in May 2025. It was a fantastic venue. The crowds were awesome. The castle army is the only one left in the United Kingdom. They were amazing. Their band, uniforms, and professionalism were amazing. Beautiful castle with the Highland mountains surrounding it. It’s a beautiful place.

We very much enjoyed the Blair castle. It was a little bit of a walk from the parking lot to the castle but it was well worth it. The inside of the castle was completely furnished and had people in rooms that could tell you about its contents and the people that once lived there. The gardens were Immaculate and beautiful.

Blair castle is a lovely place, you self tour the castle. There is highland coo's, deer, adventure playground, cafe, toilets , plenty of parking, piper plays on the hour, deer feeding at 12:30 and 14:30, lots of walks , lovely gardens and sculpture trail , staff very helpful and pleasant .

Came here with our English Bulldog to spend a nice afternoon. And indeed we did. The earliest known part of the present castle dates from 1269. In 1740 the 2nd Duke began his transformation of the medieval castle into a Georgian house. A remodel to the exterior of the castle happened in the 1860s/70s. Later on architects Jamie Troughton and Hugh Broughton constructed a new exhibition hall known as the Banvie Hall. And that's now how the Castle stands here until today. We did book the admission to the Park and Grounds online and saved some money. There were a good number of visitors, but no problem finding a parking space - there's plenty of it only a short stroll from the castle. Admission with 9.50£ was a very fair deal. We were just in time to listen to the bagpipes, which were played hourly (until a certain time). Very nice - we love bagpipes. And to sit there on the bench, listening and with the Blair Castle in the background was just a wonderful moment. Then we went to the Deer Park, watching the wildlife. Then through the woods and Diana's Grove. A nice trail through the forest, with some nice creeks and a beautiful little bridge. Then onto St. Bride's Kirk. From there to the Blair Castle Gardens. Then back again to the Castle. Suprisingly few visitors along the paths. Really wonderful grounds here. Nice walks - nice nature and landscape. The Castle is pretty and the park offers nice ways and paths to spend some hours here. Also of course a restaurant, a shop, a nice playground and toilets. We really had a great time here. Dogs allowed on the grounds was a great thing. A real good visit, well worth the fair-priced admission.

Lovely castle where dukes and dignitaries would meet in times gone by. Beautiful architecture. Fully of history. There is so much to see inside and outside. Feeding the red deer and seeing Highland coos up close was special. I can recommend it for either half a day or a.whole day if you want to go on some gentle walks. play area for children noted also.

Beautiful Forrest walk with an amazing light installation exhibition. We went in the day, so clearly not showing the lights off, at their best. No litter anywhere, clean toilets and good parking.

Excellent evening of enchantment. Adults and kids in tow, everyone loved the experience. Was concerned about ticket cost. However, slick Q system for shuttle bus there and back. Beautiful sound and light exhibitions throughout made it all worth while. Well done to all evolved, especially the wonderful team on site, guiding you and helping where needed. Hat off to you all

Brilliant trail and loads of options for MTB and walking There's toilets at the start of carpark is well and well poster for trials so you don't get lost

Went during enchanted forest and I can not recommend it enough 2nd year in a row me and my fiancèe have visited each years its different and its for charity and great causes. Walk in woods in all is great during day or night its going be good. Will be back next year and the woods itself go walk and enjoy. For the enchanted forest its for good causes and fun for the famil plenty of food and stalls seating take your time walk slow and enjoy.

As part of my 60th birthday presents, my daughter's had arranged to take me to see The Enchanted Forest. It was my 1st time and totally loved it. My daughter's had been before to see the event, which they totally loved, and to check how disabled friendly it actually was. With being disabled they had bought a ticket for disabled parking and they said it was so much easier doing this than getting on a bus in Pitlochry. The Stewards/staff were so very helpful and friendly. A couple of times when we had stopped to watch an attraction, they would approach us and speak to me asking how I was enjoying the experience etc. which was very nice. Last year when my daughter's went (it was raining) and they found a few parts of the walk slippery. But this year, I had no issues with the walkways. One Steward explained that from the money raised from previous year's they reinvest money back into the Event and they had upgraded the walkways 😊.. which meant that 1/2 way round when the rain came on this year, there was no slippery parts of the path while finishing the experience. I would totally recommend this event to anyone, especially people with mobility issues 😊. I've found a few (while being on holiday) have stated Disable friendly but were not exactly 100% easy to do/use/experience. Definitely no issues at The Enchanted Forest, Pitlochry 😊.

Worth noting that this is NOT open as the Google map hours say while the lights show is in season.

Had previously visited at night as The Enchanted Forest. We were looking for somewhere local to visit that wasn't too long or hard a walk for me. It's such a beautiful and tranquil place at this time of year.

Good view up at Ben Vrackie. Spend around 3.5 hr to the top and back. A bit steep and windy just after the lake on the way up.

Lovely walk, beautiful views on a clear day. Fairly steady walk until you get to the Loch, then it's a steep incline to the top that is pretty challenging. It took us roughly 3 and a half hours start to finish. If you're taking a dog I'd recommend taking a long line as there's quite a lot of sheep and deer about.

A reasonably steep start through the trees, a gentle open middle section to the beautiful Loch and then a steep climb to the trig point on top. Excellent distant views. About 3.5 hours round trip with stops

If you're in the area, I highly recommend hiking Ben Vrackie. We got up early at 7:00 in May, and despite the initial mist, it cleared up beautifully to reveal stunning views. Going up, the trail was pretty quiet, and we had the summit all to ourselves. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking, and we could see for miles when it was clear. The hike down was busier with lots of hikers. While the hike was fairly easy at the bottom, the steps at the top make for a tough finish. Overall, a wonderful hike that is well worth it for the amazing views. About 3:15 moving and 4(ish) hours in total we we're staying quite close!

Worth the hike up to the top, half way up you meet the lake then it becomes quite steep with steps the rest of the way.

The out and back walk up to Ben Vrackie is a great day out. As others have said, it is not a walk to be taken lightly. The first section up through the woods from the car park is straightforward. As you emerge from the woods, you have a walk uphill on a good path across the open moorland, with the route ahead clearly visible. From this angle, the route up to the summit of Ben Vrackie looks intimidating. The pull up to Loch Choire seems to take some time but is never arduous, that said, it is open and exposed to the weather. Once at the loch, the hard work begins, as there is a long winding path, made mainly of well made rock steps that looked steep and difficult from afar, but is actually relatively simple. There are a lot of steps, but it is never too exposed or steep. The final leg takes some stamina, but we managed it with some 11 year olds. The summit itself is great, no steep drops and wonderful views - a superb spot to drink in the views. The easiest way back is to retrace one’s steps. This makes a great big hill for a family of fit and well equipped hikers. Make sure you take warm layers, and a map and compass.

Fairly easy walk upto the lake, great for those who arent hardcore hikers or just starting out, there is a number of benches to catch your breath/rest or to admire the scenery, last section is steps the rest of the way and the hardest part of the trail but the incredible views at the top are worth the effort Took me an hour and a half to reach summit from the furthest away car park as there is two car parks and a map to show other walks in the surrounding areas of Pitlochry

The lovely walk to the falls is much more pleasant because Robert Burns convinced the Duke of Atholl to plant trees. Watching people slide down the rocks into the water was quite entertaining.

Lovely walk next to the shopping centre - sounds weird I know!! But so peaceful - the falls were incredible. Parked for free and used the wonderful courtyard cafe afterwards

If you’re in the area then this walk won’t take long - 1hr or less. Good paths and plenty of seating along the way. Free parking and plenty of shopping at House of Bruar.

Stunning scenery and a lovely short walk. Give it about 45 minutes to get all the way around with a couple of stops to take in the beautiful Scottish wilds.

The Falls of Bruar rose to prominence in the late 18th century, immortalised by Robert Burns, who penned a poem imploring the Duke of Atholl to enrich the stark landscape with trees. The Duke obliged, and today visitors are treated to a serene, wooded gorge that became a favourite retreat during the Victorian era. There are two main cascades—lower and upper—and reaching them involves a modest uphill walk. It’s not overly demanding; 30 to 45 minutes will comfortably suffice unless one chooses to continue further into the forested trails. The setting is utterly tranquil, rich in greenery and fresh air, and although the waterfalls themselves are not vast, the experience is undeniably rewarding. Do bear in mind, however, that the terrain may pose challenges for those with limited mobility. Conveniently, there is a free car park, a selection of shops nearby, and a café offering refreshments and light bites for those wishing to relax before or after their walk.

Beautiful walk up the Falls - could've spent a lot of time there but had limited time unfortunately. Definitely will go back, especially Autumn time as there will be more water then to make the falls even more spectacular 😍

We went to the House of Bruar on a rainy Sunday and thought we might as well check out the falls. It was a little muddy, we only made it to the lower falls, it was a nice walk with fall colors but just too wet to continue.

Really easy munro to climb (about 5h there and back for me), just over half the route is on a gravel path. Rest of the journey is over stones which require some scrambling, but shouldn't pose a problem for most people. Good view from the top, especially if the weather is good. Due to it being one of the easier munros it can be busy at the top.

This Munro known as the Fairy Hill of Caledonians, stands tall with its beautiful conical shape from afar. Thanks to its well-defined path from the Brae of Foss entrance to the summit at 3553 ft, it is one of the easiest climbs. I fear heights, yet I found this hike less intimidating than my previous three Munros. While some say the hike can be completed in 5-6 hours, we took 7 hours, enjoying breaks and the breathtaking views. Good hiking boots are a must, as the path is filled with boulders and rocks, especially near the top. It can be hazardous, so I give it a 4-star review. Hiking poles were essential for me, especially with my bad knee. On a warm May day, we came prepared with plenty of food, water, and snack bars, though a bit more water would have been wise. I finished about 1.5 litres, and it was almost not enough. Be cautious of small, fragmented rocks on the way down. Gravity can make the path slippery, and I almost slipped, but my poles saved me. I hope this review inspires you ☺️ Enjoy every moment of your journey to the top. 🍀💕

The Faerie Mountain is definitely captivating from a long distance away, and quite pretty close up. The view from Brae of Foss is particularly enjoyable, and a good road takes you up a good way to make the hike shorter.

Such a wonderful Munro in the north eastern of Southern Highlands, end of the Glen Lyon valley and with stunning views over to The Cairngorms and Glencoe plains

Great mountain to climb. Fantastic path most of the way, large boulder field to cross to get to the summit.

Took 6 hrs for us to get to top and back… we’re all over 60 🙂 Check the weather before you go - at the top there was no view because of mist and rain. There’s really no more trail for the last 1/2 mile or more which made for slow going having to carefully watch each step on the jumble of loose rocks that you have to negotiate. Well worth it though.

If this is one of the easier munros then god help me trying to do any others 😂 in all seriousness, this was the first time I attempted any and while it was rough going as we didn’t anticipate the rocky terrain higher up (and I have a chronic illness which, yknow, adds a whole other thing) - we made it to the summit! And my first! Be warned - there’s multiple false summits and lots of scrambling over rocks higher up. But the lower half is a walkable path and a decent enough climb for those wanting a lil hike without climbing the whole thing. We took it easy and had plenty of pit stops along the way, chatting to folks as we went. We even spotted a few sheep roaming around (maybe a note for the dog walkers out there 😂) Also, toilets and a parking lot down near the bottom!

We arrived on Wednesday at half past one in the afternoon, the opening hours indicated on the website, but we found it closed. Two nice ladies just closed the door laughing in front of us and did not give an explanation.We drove an hour and a half for this . It was a bad experience. We wanted to see the exhibition.

Just a little museum but worth a visit all the same, has a replica of a old post office, a room where you can see old farming equipment and another room where can learn about the blair atholl highlanders it's £5 for entry for a adult or £4 for a senior. Also there is a ice cream parlour near by that's sells ice creams and fish and chips.

Arrived Wednesday afternoon to find it closed. Although museum website says open till 5 every day the sign in window says times vary and closed some afternoons. Seems some days it shuts at 1pm or at 4pm. Very frustrating and disappointing. Reports suggest well worth a visit but not when doors locked!! If you plan to visit suggest you telephone to check first to see when open.

Had a lovely time reminiscing. The Post Office is interesting if you are of a certain age.

With some lovely help from Eric, the excellent staff member cum guide, we managed to keep a seven-year old engaged for a full hour! The old post office with telephone was a favourite, and the old cottage diorama and agricultural equipment displays were lovely. Eric was able to add extra flavour at every stage. Many thanks to all involved in keeping the past alive.

Very little museum with lots of little things it was very interesting.

Great little museum very informative with great details of the lical history and the staff were lovely. On site cafe and public toilets perfect little morning.

Giving a raving review sadly only as a window shopper. So many beautiful treasures inside, wonderful ceramics and jewellery but the store only opens at the weekend. We tried to reschedule our trip to visit the store but alas! … Check the open days!!!!!

A shop with unique and beautifully crafted merchandise 👍 Annie is such a fabulous "host" - she enthusiastically described everything we showed interest in..... spent more than I intended but the hand crafted goods were just fabulous 👌

I love this quirky shop so full of treasures and wonderful gifts. Glad it's opened again post Covid. Well done Annie!🤗

Fabulous range of jewellery and art. The best selection in Pitlochry and possibly Perthshire. Very friendly and helpful service.

Very friendly staff and a wonderful collection of jewellery and art. Worth a visit.

Beautiful gallery full of original work, much nicer than your average gift shop.

Amazing jewelry and artwork. Always see something fascinating every visit.

Toby visited the ancient stone circle with noble purpose: to commune with his ancestors, gaze into the mysteries of time, and possibly pee on something 5,000 years old. The circle stood in stoic silence, weathered and mossy, radiating a sort of “we’ve seen things” energy. Toby took a moment of quiet reflection, the wind whispering through the grass, the stones looming with ancient dignity. Then a Vauxhall Corsa drove by blasting '90s dance music. The spiritual connection wobbled, but Toby powered through. He sniffed each stone with reverence, as if decoding a message only dogs could read. No ghostly howls, no celestial visions—just a sheep darting by and the faint scent of damp lichen. Was he impressed? Not quite. Was he satisfied? Weirdly, yes. For a 5,000-year-old circle, it held up. 3.5 stars—would visit again with snacks and fewer cars.

A small ancient stone circle quite near the road. Parking is hit-or-miss. Respecting that it was on a working farm and we were parked on the edge of the road, we didn’t stay long.

No parking facilities. No on site access. Remote viewing only from about 30 metres.

Beautiful place to visit. There is a gate near the road you can enter by, parking is tricky but we managed.

Fantastic stone circle, easily accessible from the road with good parking, a gate for easy access and information board. If you like this also go to St David's well above Weem

Amazing stone circle and a must see for me on my trip. My Imran so late that it was dark the time I got there 😔 it is so nice, and easy find and to access from the road side, you can't miss it. Unless of course it's dark.

Magical. Lovely to spend 15 minutes to half an hour at

Can be reached on foot from Pitlochry or Garry Bridge. I parked at Garry Bridge where there is a large car park because it can get busy and followed path down underneath the bridge and along the river. Interesting route to the falls, over an old fish ladder by wooden bridge. Great views of it. Autumn colours are good just now (October). There were people going over the falls in tubes. Took 20 mins to get there. Good path with a staircase and other concrete steps

Stunning views, so tranquil and beautiful to be in nature. We camped further up Loch Tummel and came to explore the scenery. Walked up and over Garry Bridge further up as well. Really breathtaking views.

Stunning falls, gorgeous walks in the area. In the summer months expect to see kayakers and Rafts hurtling down the falls. Great for wild swimming below the falls.

A quiet place, surrounded by nature. The sign for the trail is hard to see if you're not paying attention, but it's opposite the parking lot. Go down a path for maximum 2 minutes. There are rocks where you can sit and even picnic in nature. Nice, clean and it's like a getaway from the city.

Lovely and quiet walk to the falls.

Lots of great trails to follow and stunning views. Best to go in autumn for the stunning mix of colours. There are some steep stairs in places but the paths are good

A pleasant area to walk around, the paths are well trodden, initial access is via steps at the side of Garry Bridge. There is a map nearby showing the routes to the falls, and also to Killiecrankie.

Cute. I walked uphill to Moulin but the heritage centre was closed. They were within the old church but the roof is leaking. I accidentally found out reading the other church's notice board that the heritage centre is in the Gladstone Room at Fisher's Hotel.

The Heritage Centre is moved away. Unfortunately the information about this issue is not at the main door but at the side door on the left. The new destination is in Fishers Hotel Pitlochry. Maybe it's necessary to add the information at the front door 😉.

First time visiting and was impressed, although I didn't find anything about the place I was looking for. Friendly, helpful chap there on the day I visited.

It's sadly beautiful to read the stones. So many children and husbands died. Beautiful gravestones erected in their honors by the women.

Excellent - so much to look at and learn about the history of the town. Well worth a visit.

Lots of information and lovely staff willing to demonstrate their knowledge and skills!

Very unfriendly unfortunately. Not exactly a warm welcome to Pitlochry!

Awesome time there!!! We went to Freespirits with a boys camp of about 35 people and we did cliff jumping. The service was really good and the staff very friendly. Also easy communication with the company. We can really recommend it to everyone and we will be back!

Great experience, really nice staff and great organisation leading up to the day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our rafting experience, what an amazing way to spend a few hours. We would highly recommend it and will definitely return some day.

Fantastic experience. It was lovely to meet Steve and have such a personal experience from one of the top experts in the world in rafting. Will certainly come back

Really enjoyed the white water rafting! Would highly recommend!

Perfect for water sports

Brilliant day out my two young boys really enjoyed rafting the river Tay

If you are in passing by, pull up & take an hours stroll in the woods to visit Dunalastair House. We entered at the cottage and admired the ornate metal gates raring about their maker online (quite interesting Glaswegian chap), enjoyed a stroll on well paved roads. To circle the house entirely requires you to walk on uneven ground full of roots & trees. The house itself is beautiful with many features and flourishes to spot. It’s completely fenced off with barbed wire but the innards of the house are completely overgrown & dilapidated and can be seen easily from a distance. There is a small cemetery near by too. Spotted several birds, a long worm, grouse and farm animals during lambing.

Being a Robertson I always wanted to visit this place. Yes ok it's not very much to look at now but still interesting. Parking at entrance but don't block the gate. Free to walk around.

Short walk from the main road as this is on private property but pedestrians are allowed. Definitely nice place to check when you sre around

Fascinating architecture. Really is such a beautiful building but I wouldn't bother going. Access is extremely limited. No parking signs everywhere you think might be a good spot and to be fair you probably couldn't enforce it but not worth hassle with locals. People say park on the roadside but it is not safe so please don't do this.

So neat. Only ones there. Right off a little gravel road. Can't believe its there.

First point: access to this is on private land so be respectful. Very interesting ruined Manor House. Roadside parking only, and the house is accessible through a gate and there is a very descent track up to the property and it's about 700m - a very slow 10 minute walk. You are able to walk around about 95% of it, and there is a fence all the way around to prevent access to the building.

Many call it a Castle ruins, but reality is it's a house that was built on the land of Clan Robertson's Castle that had burned down many many years before the Dunalastair house was ever built. The house has a great history all to it's own.
