Off To Pitlochry

[fairycakes69]

We're off to Pitlochry for a couple of days, don't mind what the weather is like, just need to escape. Work is horrible, manager has left and I'm left with the hassle. Refused to change my week off, will try not to think of the place while away.

Enjoy and if you even think of the word 'work', give yourself a mental slap xx

[wolf63]

I haven't been there for years. Enjoy yourself in the hustle and bustle of their shops - :-)

one word.................thermals :)

[albaqwerty]

[fairycakes69]

Will do, thermals ha ha. We only live an hour and a half away, used to the cold, we're a hardy breed us Scots lol

[TheOtherHalf]

the snow is forecast here so Im hoping you dont get snowed in up there ( or maybe you want to )

[Wharton]

Take a walk up the hill to Moulin and have a pint in the Moulin Hotel. They brew their own beer, log fire, good food, oooh I'm turning green with envy here :-)

[wolf63]

All of us are Scots - so far on the thread. I am in Perth.

[albaqwerty]

I'm already green.

Hi fairycake. Have a lovely time. My husband was born about 4 miles from Pitlochry. If you fancy a meal or afternoon tea the Green Park Hotel,Clunie Bridge Road is excellent

[fairycakes69]

Cheers will check out the suggestions, love eating out, log fire and beer mmm.

[maggiebee]

Dundee lassie here. Enjoy your trip to Pitlochry - but, as advised, remember the thermals and your brolly. Love Pitlochry, so much to see and do. Enjoy your short break.

[albaqwerty]

It's too early to visit now, but if you go again later in the year this, for me is a must visit place.....

Where in Scotland are you from, Fairycakes? My Auntie and Uncle live in Pitlochry :-)

Am a Fifer though! :-)

We love Pitlochry and often spend weekends there. Nice walk down to the dam,up to the Festival Theatre for coffee then through the ExplorersGarden. The smallest distillery in Scotland (Edradour) is worth a visit.Definitely thermals!

[sunny-dave]

Edradour is a must - incredibly friendly and welcoming. Even better if you can do as I did and take three non-drinkers with you, and then cheerfully neck their free drams as well as your own ...

Castle Menzies is lovely - but not likely to be open yet. I've spent many happy weeks renting the Garden House on their estate and roaming the local countryside.

Aberfeldy is a nice little town & the Watermill book shop etc is worth a visit - http://www.aberfeldywatermill.com/

[fairycakes69]

Had a lovely time, very relaxing, visited the dam, theatre and a couple of the distilleries. Hotel was great, nice food, great wine and had a sing a long with the Scottish songs, didn't realise how many I knew, hubby was hiding in the corner. Ha ha.
Erin, I'm from Montrose, nice wee town.
