"When staying in Pitlochry during the early part of the war, I chanced to see a stately house with a fairly large garden, quite close to the town. I at once realised that here my dream theatre might well be established in this fashionable resort right in the heart of Scotland"… John Stewart, Founder of Pitlochry Festival Theatre.
Pitlochry's name comes from the Gaelic 'Pit Cloich Aire' which means 'place of the Sentinel Stone'. Visitors of any age will be intrigued by the Pictish carvings on the huge Dunfallandy stone, as well as partaking in mountain walks, white water rafting, the famous salmon ladder, or even a tour at one of the two local distilleries Edradour and Blair Athol, for adults only of course!
