    The location of the distillery is just beautiful. Our guide, David, was friendly, chatty and informed. When you consider the price of a dram in a pub, the entry cost of £19 is actually really good. It includes 3 drams and a Blair Atholl glass to take away, plus 10% discount in the gift shop. It also helps that it's about 15 min walk from Pitlochry station, so easy to ditch the car! Would recommend.

    Just love this view, even when overcast! Don't pass it by if you are in the area. Cafe unfortunately was closed but didn't diminish from our visit.

    Very interesting castle with lots of history (and weapons!). The grounds are beautiful and worth the admission even if you don't pay for the castle too. We were lucky with the weather and were able to spend most of our afternoon exploring the grounds. I found the cafe a little expensive for what it was but I suppose that's to be expected in this kind of place. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

    Saw Sunshine on Leith and was totally spellbound. Amazing cast, musicians and a performance that totally mesmerised everybody.

    What a fab little hill. Free parking near the path at the bottom, navigation straight forward and a manageable incline right up to the final climb. There’s even the odd bench here and there!

    A great starter hill for those looking to dip their toe into hill walking, but do remember to take suitable equipment.

    First time visiting Faskally Forest today. Plenty of car parking spaces and a separate area for those that are disabled. Toilets are available and were in good working order. Well maintained. Hand a nice walk around the pond area. Saw some Ducks and two Herons. Which was great to see. It's a great location just off the main road. Will definitely come back again. And would definitely recommend it.

    The walk itself takes about 1.5hrs to complete if you want to take it easy. Its very uphill. The sights that you can see it stunning. Theres the lower, middle and upper sections to see and as you get higher up the falls its even more stunning. Lovely walk and very clean area. Deffs need hiking boots. Worth the visit

    We traveled back from Edinburgh this way after journeying up to Edinburgh through Glencoe which was outstanding by the way!
    This gem of a place really was just perfect
    Great Coffee and excellent food plus a bit of history thrown in for good measure
    You must stop here on your journey!

    Delightful gardens! It's clear the staff and volunteers love and cherish the gardens and they do fantastic work maintaining it. Particularly loved all the insightful and thoughtfully written fun facts found around the gardens, they were funny and clearly written with love! I learned a lot whilst also finding it incredibly relaxing
