Pitlochry situated on the slopes of the Grampian, on the north bank of the river Tummel is often thought of as one of the most attractive resorts in the Highlands. Some of the finest of glen scenery can be seen here. The little village of Moulin at the foot of the hills about a mile north of Pitlochry has a church, constructed in 1874, on a site sacred from time immemorial. Above Moulin is Craigower (1300ft) offering one of the best view in Scotland. The Black Spout waterfall in a densely wooded ravine is about a mile south-east of the town. For fishing try Loch Faskally and the Tummel. Kinnaird Cottage, just east of Moulin was the residence of Robert Louis Stevenson in 1881 when he wrote The Merry Men and Thrawn Janet.
Pitlochry is a lovely town in the Perthshire area of Scotland. This pretty town is 24 miles to the north of Perth and is on the A9 road, the main road from Perth to Inverness. The population of Pitlochry is small, estimated just above 2500, and according to the latest census, over 34% of the population is pensioner-age or older. Pitlochry is situated on the banks of the River Tummel. This beautiful town, with mostly Victorian town houses, is well recognised as place to rest and enjoy the scenery. In 1842, Queen Victoria visited Blair Castle and the area around Pitlochry. This, and the addition of the railway station in 1863 helped to make Pitlochry a very popular place to visit. The amount of visitors has increased over the years and still continues to this day, making Pitlochry a very popular tourist destination. Pitlochry is also well-known as a hill walking centre, due to its proximity to many spectacular mountains.
Pitlochry was known in the past as Moulin, and most of it was built during the Victorian era. Pitlochry developed more and started to grow after General George Wade built a road which improved access to all the rural places in Scotland in 1725; this road went straight through the middle of the town of Pitlochry.
1947 saw the massive dam construction project, which is part of the Tummel hydro-electric power system. This dam can be seen today and it is a popular visitor attraction. It is known for the 310 metre salmon ladder, where you can see the fish leaping from one weir to another within the ladder. Loch Faskally is a man-made loch, which came about as a result of the construction of the dam. In this year Pitlochry also become a burgh. In 1951 the Pitlochry Festival Theatre opened in a tent at the curling rink, but in 1981 it moved to a nice building in the town centre. The theatre seats 544, and enables locals and visitors to see as many show as possible; there are up to six shows a week during the high season.

Pitlochry is very famous for its whiskies; there are two whisky distilleries and they are popular visitor attractions, as they are a great place to visit to learn the history of Scotland’s national drink and at the same time have the chance to sample the whiskies. The first distillery is Edradour, the smallest family distillery in Scotland. The second is the Atholl Distillery which dates from 1798 and produces many perfectly aged whiskies. These whiskies are ready to taste and they make an excellent present from bonny Scotland.
