In addition to providing information on hotel accommodation Pitlochry, we have included a few recommendations for places to see and things to do on your holiday in Pitlochry. This is just a small sample of the rich variety of holiday pursuits in the immediate area.

Black Spout Wood Walk 

This fabulous walk starts a few hundred yards from Rosemount Hotel Pitlochry. Take a saunter through light woodland to a delightful waterfall. For a longer stretch, press on to Edradour Distillery and enjoy the gorgeous downhill amble back into town. The views are breathtaking. Refreshment awaits at the 300year old Moulin Inn or Pitlochry’s scenic Golf Club, enroute.

Ben Vrackie, Beallach-na-Searmoin, Ben y Ghlo and Craigower Hill

Fabulous scenic hillwalks with a range of degrees of challenge

Loch Dunmore

A haven of peace and tranquility set around a small Loch with a well-formed path, just outside Pitlochry, surrounded by mixed woodland and teeming with wildlife, such as Red Squirrel, Kingfishers, Woodpeckers, Owls and some beautiful water birds. A wee holiday treat!

Short Journey by Car or Cycle

The Pass of Killiecrankie

An impressive , tree-lined gorge which is simply breathtaking in Autumn, but beautiful all year around.

Queens View

 A must-visit place during holidays in the Pitlochry area. The panoramic view has been described as “spine-tingling”.

Allean Forest Walk

Near to Queen’s View. A steady uphill walk, passing an abandoned crofting farmstead enroute. One of the buildings has been re-constituted to give a fascinating insight into the realities of living in this area in days gone by. Wonderful views over Loch Tummel towards Schiehallion on the horizon.

Blair Atholl, with Blair Castle

 Visitor centre and country life museum, working watermill and Glen Tilt walks. There is plenty enough to spend a whole day exploring in this delightful hamlet. Just a few miles from Pitlochry.

House of Bruar and the Falls of Bruar

 A pleasing combination of top-end visitor facility with a delightful walk passing two waterfalls.
