One of the town's best loved attractions is the Pitlochry Dam and Fish Ladder. Here salmon negotiate the specially constructed ladder allowing them to bypass Pitlochry Dam into the man-made Loch Faskally.

 Visitors to this beautiful town have a wide range of Pitlochry hotels and other accommodation to choose from. The splendidly restored Victorian buildings of Atholl Road offer a wide range of restaurants and specialist gift shops. At Heathergems, for example, the craftspeople can be viewed turning the stems of the heather, pulled from the Perthshire Hills, into attractive and unusual jewellery.

Three miles north of Pitlochry, visit the outstandingly beautiful Pass of Killiecrankie. The story of the famous battle in this tree-lined gorge, now in the care of The National Trust for Scotland, is a feature of the visitor centre.
