Pitlochry Summer Walks

We hope you've enjoyed the same beautiful weather that Pitlochry has been blessed with in the last week or so. Mediterranean days and balmy evenings have brought everyone out in their cool summer gear, and of course walks are hugely popular at this time of year, especially when combined with a delicious picnic and cold drink en route. Take a look at our 'Things to Do' page for some great ideas of how to while away your time here...

There are almost 41 miles of waymarked paths around Pitlochry, Moulin and Killiecrankie, taking in beautiful scenery and historic settings, many with stunning viewpoints along the way. Walks range from flat and relatively easy to very strenuous so it's easy to plan something to suit everyone in your group.

Why not round off your day with a sumptious dinner in our elegant yet relaxed dining room? Our highly-acclaimed chef changes the menu regularly according to the produce in season and our guests have been delighted with the quality of the food.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Pitlochry Hotels - Summer Highlights in Perthshire

If you're familiar with Pitlochry and Perthshire, you'll know that there is always lots of things to do at any time of the year, and each season creates its own unique blend of charm and atmosphere in Pitlochry and the surrounding countryside. Summer sees vibrant flower displays and hustle and bustle on Pitlochry's streets, and a wealth of activities and events for the whole family, and is generally a time for fun, frivolity and relaxation.

In case you didn't know, 2010 is ABBA's 40th anniversary, and the best-selling musical show will be coming to Pitlochry Festival Theatre on Sunday 20th June. Also at the theatre, on 4th July, Donnie Munro and band will be energising the audience with their 'Gael-rock' - this promises to be a night to remember.

There are lots of activities based at Killiecrankie Visitor Centre this summer, including 'woodland safari' and 'rock detectives', both of which encourage children to explore nature, and a commemoration of the battle of Killiecrankie. All these events recur regularly throughout July and August.

These are just a few suggestions, please take a look at our Things to Do page for more information, especially for outdoor activities.

Best wishes, Liz
