Places to See Around Pitlochry
Pitlochry Town Centre is just a few minutes walk from Rosemount Hotel and offers an enticing opportunity to visit quality independent shops and cafes in an idyllic setting, typical of the short breaks Pitlochry exerience. The architecture of the town is Victorian/Edwardian and has been updated in keeping with that era, with a period-style canopy running a great deal of the length to protect visitors from the varied and interesting weather patterns we so enjoy (;-).
Pitlochry Fish Ladder
We recommend walking the length of the town and following signs to Pitlochry Fish Ladder. In itself, this provides those with an interest in engineering a fascinating insight into the pioneering phase of hydro electricity, but, for most, it will be the panoramic views from the location that carry most appeal.
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.
Riverside walk to Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Blair Athol Distillery
Where to go next depends on what interests you. For a visit to Blair Athol Distillery and its excellent insight into the production of Whisky, walk to the end of Portnacraig Lane and continue south, past the small housing development and cross the bridge over the river, enjoying the view of the dam. Immediately in front of you is Blair Athol Distillery.
