Pitlochry is a charming riverside town located in Central Scotland. With its lovely setting on the River Tummel, as well as a fine collection of sights and activities, Pitlochry makes a great stopover on the way to the Scottish Highlands. Distillery tours are always popular, with the Edradour Distillery – which has produced single malt Scotch whiskey since 1825 – and the Blair Athol Distillery to choose from. For outdoor enthusiasts, the town can be used as a base for some excellent hikes, including the Pass of Killiecrankie, which includes a fantastic visitor centre with displays about Jacobite history, and the mountain of Ben Vrackie. This last hike starts and ends at the Moulin Brewery and Hotel, a great place to unwind after a long day’s walking.
