What to do and see in Pitlochry, Scotland: The Best Sightseeing Tours
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.

Where to start? After a year of planning our itinerary with Nick of Aura Journeys, we put it into play with 8 days of touring with William. William is professional, but he knows how to have fun with you after he sizes you up. His humor was like spending a week with your best friend from college. Subtle, but pointed, we traded barbs and laughed away the week. No worries about spending a week with a stranger when your guide is William! His knowledge of the area was deep but if he didn't have an answer to your question, he'd look it up and have it for you quickly. He soon got to know what we liked and what we didn't, from meal times and toilet stops, to type of food and sightseeing preferences. We had daily itineraries but we would often adjust based on our own energy level or suggestions from William. Nothing was ever a problem for William. We went to several places William had never been to and he thanked US for taking him there. We ended as good friends and hated to leave him at the end of our journey. Highlights: * Always arrived early with a clean van and lots of water * Very safe driver * Served as photographer when asked - we finally have trip pictures with both of us * Flexible and accommodating * Knowledgeable - great suggestions for restaurants, activities, places to visit and places to skip * He did all the work and let us be tourists rather than trying to drive and read guidebooks while we flew past sights.

I was not quite sure what to expect when I planned this tour with Paul only because the number of daylight hours in Scotland in mid-December is quite limited (this tour had to be managed in 6 hours) and also one was not sure of the vagaries of the weather, looking at the forecast. However, it turned out to be a brilliant and fun day. Paul’s pacing is always perfect. Tours with him are not overwhelming in which the days might be packed too tight and where one might get the feeling always of being rushed. No. Not so with Paul. His planning and sense of time is excellent. He selects the sights and the tours with care and customises them exactly per his customers’ requirements. In the end one gets the feeling of having been somewhere meaningful, and of having one’s senses enriched. It’s just right and it’s brilliant. Those memories stay with one for a long long time. I’m not going into the details of each place visited, nor am I going to wax lyrical about Paul’s sense of humour, his knowledge of Scottish history, current politics, the golf conversations, and the wonderful insights that he shares about each place visited: these things are all true, of course, and he is a truly excellent guide and friend. Very briefly, one saw the ruins of the Roslin Castle, the exquisite Rosslyn Chapel, the magnificent Scott’s View, and the enchanting and atmospheric Dryburgh and Melrose Abbeys. Lunch was at the classy Townhouse (Paul’s picks are perfect). I strongly recommend giving Paul and his partner Kelly a shout if you wish to discover Scotland. You will not be disappointed. Five stars, and that’s being stingy.
