Pitlochry Fish Ladder
A visit to the newly opened Pitlochry Fish Ladder Visitor Centre has to be a “must-do” on any Pitlochry short break. A fascinating exhibition of the history of the production of hydro-electricity in the area, including the pioneering construction of the dam, gives the visitor an eye-opening insight into the challenges of harnessing nature for our benefit at such early stages of the development of the industry. An excellent cafe provides refreshment and great views.
Ben Vrackie Mountain
Just before you reach the structure, we recommend a quick “about-turn” to take in the stunning aspect of Ben Vrackie mountain from this particular point. It’s always difficult to photograph extremely beautiful scenery, but the shot above gives some idea of the peace and still beauty that greets you from the walkway. Moving onwards, enjoy a stroll along the river, past Pitlochry Festival Theatre and maybe call in at the Portnacraig Inn for a delicious, locally produced ice-cream or maybe sit by the river in their garden for a coffee or beer.
