Rushing waterfalls or iconic peaks? Whichever you choose for your first day, be sure to also pay a visit to Pitlochry’s famous Fish Ladder to watch the salmon leap upriver, to stop by its renowned Festival Theatre, and to call into the whisky treasure trove that is Robertson’s – please let us know at the time of booking if you would like us to arrange a highly recommended tasting here for you.
Ben Vrackie: 12km (7.5 miles), 5.5hrs; ascent/descent 715m
Dominating the skyline above Pitlochry is Ben Vrackie, the 841-metre-high ‘speckled mountain’ named for the white quartz rocks that were once strewn across its slopes. Our ascent starts gently then steepens as you near the summit, but on a good path which explores a variety of terrain: from pretty woodland to open hillside, moorland and mountain loch. Once at the top, your exertions are soon forgotten, swept away by the magnificent views over the whole of Perthshire.
Black Spout, Edradour and Moulin: 7km (4.5 miles), 2.5hrs; ascent/descent 160m
Pitlochry is surrounded by picturesque woodland, and on this circular walk you explore Black Spout Wood – the lovely deciduous area to the east of the town. Concealed between its oak and ash trees are roe deer, red squirrels and colourful jays, as well as the impressive Black Spout waterfall that plunges from a height of 60 metres. From here, you continue to Edradour, home to the historic distillery (currently closed to the public) that keeps the House of Lords in fine, silky malt, before passing the romantic ruins of the Black Castle on the way to Moulin, a small hamlet with welcoming inn and its own brewery.
Choose from two lovely circular walks on the fringes of the Cairngorms National Park, or visit Blair Castle, the 750-year-old ancestral home of Clan Murray and the Atholl Highlanders – Europe’s last remaining private army.
Falls of Bruar: 17km (10.5 miles), 6hrs; ascent/descent 340m (from Ptarmigan and Dalgreine House)
Falls of Bruar: 8km (5 miles), 3hrs; ascent/descent 195m (from the Old Manse)
In 1787, Robert Burns wrote The Humble Petition of Bruar Water to the Noble Duke of Atholl, imploring the then Duke to plant more trees alongside Bruar’s cascading waterfalls. Although the Duke complied, most of his good work was undone during World War II; the felled trees were replaced after hostilities ended, however, and this delightful area is once again dense with Scots pine, larch, fir and spruce. Our longer route here from Blair Atholl leads via Blair Castle and its rolling parkland, while it’s a shorter walk via forest tracks from The Old Manse.
Glen Tilt: 17km (10.5 miles), 6hrs; ascent/descent 360m (from Ptarmigan and Dalgreine House)
Head north on a classically beautiful route from the Old Bridge of Tilt which explores both sides of Glen Tilt. This vast valley is widely regarded as one of Scotland's most striking, with its steep, heather-clad flanks and the constant, meandering presence of the River Tilt.
Glen Banvie: 15km (9.5 miles), 5hrs; ascent/descent 290m (from the Old Manse)
After passing through the impressive West Gate of the estate, follow woodland tracks north through forest that slowly gives way to ancient woodland and the open moors that fringe the Cairngorms National Park. Look out for deer, red squirrels and pine martin in the woods, and grouse and eagles on the moors, before descending back into the forest via a Victorian folly and Blair Castle.
