Pitlochry

In the heart of Scotland with beautiful scenery and lots to see and do, Pitlochry is primarily a holiday destination, counting Queen Victoria amongst its earlier visitors.
Pitlochry is ideally located for touring Highland Perthshire or further afield. The town itself is famed for its hydro electric dam across the river Tummel and the associated fish ladder. Its bustling High Street has a wealth of shops, cafes and restaurants to provide a satisfying retail experience.
Pitlochry is also known for its Festival Theatre. Often referred to as ‘The Theatre in the Hills" it is extremely important to the town, running a rolling repertoire of six plays throughout the main tourist season (May to October) and a whole host of other entertainment all year round. Many visitors come to Pitlochry purely to enjoy the entertainment at the theatre.

This Trail is a short circular walk from the main street to the dam on Loch Faskally to view the salmon ladder and along the banks of the River Tummel. It takes you over a foot bridge through the small ancient hamlet of Port na Craig and past the Victorian railway station back into Pitlochry. Because of the steps at the dam it is regrettably unsuitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
