Welcome to Pitlochry

For visitors from overseas, especially those coming from countries where vast distances are taken for granted, the rapidity with which the Scottish Lowlands change into the spectacular landscape of the Highlands is always a surprise. Within an hour's drive of Edinburgh, with the backcloth of the Grampian mountains appearing already in the far distance, visitors enter the foothills of Highland Perthshire just a few miles north of Perth.

Located in the beautiful Tummel Valley, twenty miles from Perth, Pitlochry has been famed as a holiday destination since Victorian times, when the introduction of the railway and Queen Victoria's love of the Highlands combined to create this distinctively Scottish resort town.

We hope you will enjoy the brief tour of Pitlochry offered by this web site and look forward to welcoming you when you visit in person.
