Pitlochry is a busy stop-off point for tourists heading north into the Highlands. Built on the banks of the River Tummel, with Ben Vrackie as a backdrop, the town has an idyllic setting. You can take a leisurely walk along the river and through the woods around Loch Faskally, climb the serious hill of Ben Vrackie, or take a short tour of Scotland’s Edradour Distillery (Scotland’s smallest) where you can sample a dram of this very good malt.
