It is largely a Twentieth Century town, having grown as a tourist resort, in particular a centre for Hillwalking , known for its great forestry and mountain walks around Ben Y Vrackie . The town has two Whisky Distilleries ( Edradour , which is billed as the smallest distillery in Scotland, and Blair Athol), a small Theatre , a small Brewery (Moulin Brewery), a Lawn Bowling club, and a Hydroelectric Power Station . The power station's dam is known for its 311-metre Salmon Ladder ; fish can be viewed leaping from weir to weir within the ladder, via an underwater viewing station or via video from inside the visitor centre. Pitlochry grew from a small village called Moulin, spreading south and taking on its own name. Moulin still exists north of Pitlochry's town center. It was the winner of the 2003 Britain In Bloom , in the category of 'Small Country Town'. The town is bypassed by the main A9 Inverness to Perth road, and has a Railway Station on the Highland Main Line . |
