Sights in Perth To Aviemore

  1. Killiecrankie Visitors Centre

    Drop into the Killiecrankie Visitors Centre in this beautiful, rugged gorge, 3.5 miles north of Pitlochry. It has great interactive displays on the Jacobite rebellion, and local flora and fauna. There’s plenty to touch, pull and open – great for kids. There are some stunning walks into the wooded gorge; keep an eye out for red squirrels.

    Heathergems

    Just behind the tourist office is Heathergems, the factory outlet of a most unusual and beautiful form of Scottish jewellery. The jewellery is made from natural heather stems, which are dyed and pressed to create colourful, original pieces. You can actually view the jewellery being made through windows into the workshop. Definitely worth a browse.

  5. Edradour Distillery

    This is proudly Scotland’s smallest distillery and a great one to visit: you can see the whole process easily-explained in one room. It’s 2.5 miles east of Pitlochry along the Moulin road, and a pleasant walk there.
