Pitlochry, which is known as Baile Chloichridh or Baile Chloichrigh in the Gaelic language, is considered to be a burgh in the Perth and Kinross council in Scotland. Pitlochry is near the Tummel river, and has about 3,000 people living in it, which makes it a small and quiet place, which is ideal for people who just want to relax during their vacation time. Pitlochry is styled in a Victorian style for the most part, and is a major tourist resort because Queen Victoria visited Pitlochry back in the year 1863.
Pitlochry is surrounded by mountains and is famous for its hill walking activities, which make it ideal for people who want to explore the beauty of Scotland on foot, while maintaining their fitness level and keeping healthy - even on vacation.
Also while in Pitlochry you might want to visit the many still-standing Victorian styled stone houses, which are located throughout the burgh of Pitlochry.
Pitlochry is very easy to reach, despite being surrounded by mountains, so you don't have to worry about transportation. Pitlochry is just 26 miles to the north of Perth, which makes it ideal for people who want to visit several places at once during their vacation - so they won't have to settle while touring Scotland - they will get to see everything, and experience everything that Scotland has to offer.
Pitlochry is easily reached by a main A9 bypass, which leads to Perth and to Inverness, making it ideal for the people who want to take business trips, or who want the freedom of being able to move to another boarding house or hotel once they get sick of a certain location - once they did everything they could do in the place.
There is also a famous long distance footpath which you can take, if you are interested in keeping in great shape - the mountain air is great for those type of activities, and the greenery serves as a nice backdrop for any exercise done in Scotland.
While exercising you will be able to see the wilderness in Scotland, which is a big part of it, and you will be able to enjoy the type of things you won't get to see on a regular trip to Scotland, with a tour guide. This is not something you can see from your hotel room - so you need to get out and explore!
Also Pitlochry has various recreational centres despite its small size, which include the repertory theatre which seats around 550 people, as well as the Pitlochry Festival Theatre which was established by John Stewart, which hosts the largest ensemble in Scotland. While visiting those theatres you will be able to choose between famous and less known theatre plays, which will be acted by trained professionals for your viewing pleasure. J.K. Rowling is a famous patron of the theatre, and there is also a famous national ballet company that was started as early as 1960 by Margaret Morris, and is still playing to this day.
