Things to Do in PitlochryPitlochry is so renowned for the traditional country pursuits of Fishing & Golf that these both have a section each, and we are happy to offer packages which include green fees and fishing. WalkingPitlochry has walks to suit every walker with a choice of pasture or highland, riverside, woodland and open moorland. Gentle WalksFor gentle strolls by rivers there is the historical Soldiers Leap in Killiecrankie, or Loch Faskally forest walks in Pitlochry. Walks over hills include Craigower Hill, behind the golf course, which rewards an up hill walk of an hour or so with spectacular views, or a walk from Port-Na-craig, by the festival theatre, over a hillside filled with ancient monuments such as a stone circle and burial mounds, to the neighboring valley of Strathtay. Hill WalksFor the more serious walker there is Ben-Y-Vrackie (2759ft) with views, on a clear day, up lochs Tummel and Rannoch
to the islands off the West Coast and south to Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. Local Munros (mountains over 3000ft) include Ben Lawers and Schiehallion (meaning 'the Fairy Mountain' in Gaelic). It is known that, as you walk up Schiehallion on midsummers day, your shadow jumps from side to side. While this may have a rational scientific explanation, many believe it to be evidence of fairies playing with your shadow. CyclingAbout 100 yards from the Atholl Palace entrance is Perthshire's most dynamic bike shop, where you can hire bikes, tandems, tag-along's and any required equipment. Kevin or Malcolm will also be able to give you route maps and suggest a route which suits your abilities. AdventuresFor truly unique and exhilarating experiences from Quad biking to Hovercrafts, see www.freespirits-online.co.uk and www.highlandadventuresafaris.co.uk
If you are also planning a visit to Ireland the Castle Hotel Group in Dublin City Centre offer comfortable Georgian hotel accommodation.

Well, it’s been dry. Apart from a few showers we have had little or no rain for a month,now, and things are beginning to get desperate. Watering can help but there is really no substitute for a good dowsing of the natural stuff which gets well down to the roots.
