Pitlochry in Perth and Kinross, Scotland is a compact Victorian resort set on the banks of the River Tummel beside Loch Faskally, acting as a gateway to the southern Cairngorms. The town grew after the arrival of the railway in the 19th century and is dominated by walks up Ben Vrackie, which gives fine views over the surrounding glens.
It mixes tourism and local industry: the Pitlochry Dam and hydro scheme created the loch and a well-known salmon ladder, while small whisky producers such as Edradour add character. Cultural life centres on the Pitlochry Festival Theatre and seasonal events like the Highland Games, so the economy leans heavily on hospitality, outdoor pursuits and heritage tourism.
