Lower bridge
Hidden behind the outrageous shopping experience that is The House of Bruar, is the start of a 2.5km circular walk up the Falls of Bruar.
Big waterfalls, super clear pools, ancient bridges and steep sides (hold on the the kids!) make this short walk very enjoyable.
If you fancy a more refreshing trip to the Falls of Bruar why not try canyoning organised by Pitlochry Outdoor Activities – chilly stuff!
For some excellent detailed notes on the walk check out this Walkhighlands page.
Combine this walk with a tour of Blair Castle and a posh retail experience at the House of Bruar for an excellent day out.
Have a look at some of our own photos of the walk below.

The Queen’s View. Wow! What a place.
Only a few miles from Pitlochry down the stunning Loch Tummel road is an incredible viewpoint known as the Queen’s View. Apparently named after Queen Isabella, the wife of Robert the Bruce over 700 years ago.
A short path leads from the carpark to the viewpoint. The path has recently undergone extensive renovation and is now considered wheelchair accessible.
The view itself is extensive, taking in the whole of Loch Tummel, Schiehallion (3553ft) and at a distance of about 50 miles the mountains of Glencoe.
We had a cracking day for our visit and the snow caps on Schiehallion and in Glencoe really made the view. Well worth a visit on a clear day.

There is also some great walking to be done in the surrounding Aillean Forest. A good starting point for info is the superb Walkhighlands website and http://www.perthshirebigtreecountry.co.uk/

The Scottish Field magazine, December 2011, has suggested ten things to do in Perthshire, many of which are very close to Torrdarach House in Pitlochry. All of the suggestions get a thumbs-up from us.
Most of the suggestions above are very close to our Bed and Breakfast in Pitlochry, Highland Perthshire.
