Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Pitlochry, Scotland

February 26, 2022 Jeremy Dunfee

Highland Perthshire places some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery within easy reach of both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Pitlochry is the most geared-up base from which to enjoy it. It’s been a bustling mountain resort since the railways arrived in 1863, and these days manages to be both a cozy favorite for tourists who enjoy browsing in its woolen mills and taking in the repertory of plays at its famous Festival Theatre, and a magnet for adrenalin junkies in search of bungee jumping, canyoning, tubing and white water rafting adventures. Visitors of any age will be intrigued by the Pictish carvings on the huge Dunfallandy stone at nearby Ballinluig and, after a bracing mountain walk or visit to the famous salmon ladder, adults can enjoy a warming dram of malt whiskey after a tour at one of the two local distilleries, Edradour and Blair Athol.

The golf course is nestled in beautiful flora & fauna. There are monkeys and springboks as well as colorful birds, romantic river steams throughput the whole parkour with jungle-like bridges leading to beautiful views. The halfway house is spectacularly placed in the middle of the forest with a luxury and very friendly service. An amazing Valentine’s Day experience!!!

Blair Atholl Bike Hire

Reviewed By V6309XYkaren - Preston, United Kingdom

We visited on Friday 28th August 2020 and took a tour of the grounds on Segways with SegwayEcosse. I can't find a way to review them but know they own the bike hire too. We had spent a week at a lodge overlooking Loch Tay and had already had a wonderful week but the segway tour was by far our highlight. Trevor was absolutely brilliant, he had a bit of banter and managed to get a few smiles out of our 12 year old. There were only the 3 of us on the tour and it was a nice pace. The segways are so easy to use and very intuitive. We felt really safe and secure whilst still feeling adventurous. The grounds are absolutely stunning and despite it being 3.30pm there were very few people around so it almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. Trevor was great and really made the tour for us. Cannot recommend it enough.

We had a great day at the golf course. The staff at the pro shop were friendly and helped me re-arrange times, arrange buggies etc which took the stress out of the day. The course was in great condition and the views were fabulous. The sun was shining so that was a plus. The food selection is great and the place has a lovely atmosphere.

Reviewed By ruthjE1301SS - Ilkley, United Kingdom

I ran up the woods along good paths to discover this hidden gem then further on to the Edradour Distillery, followed by a sweeping run down hill with a cheeky turn about the Atholl Palace hotel grounds which are a beautifully manicured contrast to the mysterious woods
