A little history
Pitlochry was developed as a Victorian Highland resort after Queen Victoria visited in 1842. The town's Festival Theatre — founded in 1951 — is one of Scotland's most beloved repertory theatres. The salmon ladder at the hydroelectric dam allows visitors to watch Atlantic salmon leaping upstream through underwater windows.
The salmon ladder is extraordinary — watching salmon leap is genuinely exciting. The Pitlochry Festival Theatre for excellent productions. Edradour Distillery for the authentic smallest Highland distillery experience. The Loch Faskally walk.
