Pitlochry, in the heart of Scotland

by Marpessa - last update: Jan 7, 2005

Another over-nighter. Pitlochry is a very pretty town, definitely how I imagined it would be. It's a small and beautiful town, the buildings/houses are beautiful - nothing like this back homein Australia. It doesn't take very long to walk around Pitlochry, so take your time, there's no rush!
View of mountains near Pitlochry
From Pitlochry you have gorgeous views of surrounding mountains. Even with the storm clouds the scenery is amazing. The night I was there there was a huge storm, thunder and lightning and A LOT of rain. But I don't mind storms (as long as I'm safe and warm I don't :) ), and it was nice to watch from the bedroom window at the B and B (see accom. tip for view from my room).
side street/path
A local footpath leading down to Atholl Rd. I know it's probably not the safest thing for someone travelling alone to do - but I did spend some of my time checking out 'local' footpaths, and just strolling around back streets of towns.

 Hiya, I think your page is soo cute :) It is my second home and I love going there. It is such a pretty town no? My better half is from there so I visit twice a year and it is a perfect representation of wee Scotland. Great page ;) Jz

 Hi Marpessa - I'm enjoying reading some of your Scottish pages. I often stop for something to eat at MacDonalds in Pitlochry if I'm going to the Highlands. Better than most resturants of that name :)
