YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Pitlochry
Learn at the dam visitor centre
Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre explores the story of hydroelectric power and the way it shaped the area. Allow time for the displays. The exhibits connect the landscape with electricity production.
Walk around Loch Faskally
Choose a suitable waterside or woodland route to enjoy the loch landscape at your own pace. A shorter outing with a picnic can be as worthwhile as a longer walk. Use a current route map to decide your turning point and return journey before setting off, particularly with children or a mixed-ability group.
Book a theatre visit
Pitlochry Festival Theatre provides a strong reason to plan an evening locally. Select a production for your dates, then allow time to arrive comfortably and enjoy the setting. Its café has river and mountain views, so food or a drink can form part of the outing rather than a separate rushed stop.
Local shops, food & places to browse
The town offers shops for gifts and crafts, while the dam visitor centre has a café and gift shop. If the theatre is your main destination, use its food options or arrange a town meal in advance; this leaves more time to enjoy the performance.
Planning your holiday in Pitlochry
Keep an outdoor day before a theatre booking manageable. Wet walking clothes, a late meal or an ambitious route can make the evening feel hurried, so leave space to return to the caravan and get ready.
Choosing where to stay
Compare each listing's position with Pitlochry town and the places you plan to visit. A peaceful countryside lodge may require different transport arrangements from a holiday home with convenient town access.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
