We arrived in Pitlochry after an uneventful train ride from Kingussie to be driven by taxi a short distance up to the guesthouse we would stay in, Tigh Na Cloich https:\/\/www.tighnacloich.com\/<\/a>. The town is on the two banks of the river Tummel with a good party of the town up from the trail station. The guesthouse was very nice with congenial and helpful hosts. Our room looked out over a garden and the Tummel valley. As has become common, our room was on the top floor. We’ve had this in Thurso, Kingussie, Pitlochry, and now in St Andrews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took our host’s suggestion and took a walk down to the hydro damn and fish ladder. Past the rail station and down the hill through some nice scenery. You get a nice view of the river from the damn along with an informative display about how salmon bed and live in the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After crossing the river we walked a ways past the theatre to a suspension bridge that crossed across the river again. We ate dinner at The Fern Cottage, a popular but unremarkable middle eastern restaurant. Then walls back through the main street of the town, which must have close to 100 shops and back to our room. After a bit in our room we went to the pub down the hill the Auld Smiddy, http:\/\/auldsmiddy.com\/<\/a>. A nice place got a dessert, dinner, our a pint. We had dinner there the following evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of trails around Pitlochry. We decided to try the trail to Moulin because it went through the woods and fields and a chance for lunch at the Moulin Hotel, https:\/\/www.moulinhotel.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The path was a few miles long and of course it took us most of the day. Very enjoyable views and walls through woods. Just before we got to the path there was an interesting sign. Maybe they knew we were coming! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we returned from the hike we eventually took a walk into a part of the town away from the shops. Slightly up the hill and more residual. It was late in the afternoon, early evening so the sun was setting lighting up the windows in a church and providing done dramatic lighting for a picture of Lynn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

we ended the day going to the Auld Smiddy for dinner. A really nice day with lots of walking and getting a good introduction to the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
