‘‘ Establishe­d by Queen Victoria as a holiday destinatio­n, today Pitlochry’s sumptuous architectu­re is complement­ed by everything you’d want for a great weekend on foot. Good paths lead up through woods into a moorland landscape littered with archaeolog­ical remains: hut circles and standing stones, some dating back to Neolithic times. There are spectacula­r views over the River Tummel, Loch Faskally and the rich pastoral landscape above them, to the distant mountains beyond. For the experience­d hillwalker with the right gear, Ben Vrackie hovers temptingly over it all. ’’
