Pitlochry

Pitlochry (; Scottish Gaelic: Baile Chloichridh or Baile Chloichrigh) is a historic market town in the Perth and Kinross council area of Scotland, lying on the River Tummel. It is historically in the county of Perthshire, and had a population of 2,694 in 2022. It is largely a Victorian town, which developed into a tourist resort after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the area in 1842 and bought a highland estate at Balmoral, and the arrival of the railway in 1863. It remains a popular tourist resort today and is particularly known for its Pitlochry Festival Theatre, salmon ladder and as a centre for hillwalking, surrounded by mountains such as Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion. It is popular as a base for coach holidays. The town has retained many stone Victorian buildings, and the high street has an unusual period cast iron canopy over one side.
