Things to do in Pitlochry...

[LadyMacDonna]

Visiting tomorrow with friends. Both we and they have a 1yo.

Any suggestions for what to do / avoid? Up for moderate walking with prams but probably not massive hikes. We like animals, good coffee, nature, anything kid-friendly that's not actively unpleasant for adults.

Would prefer to avoid stuff we could do anywhere, iyswim - like soft play or something like that. Unless it's a particularly awesome one...

Was gonna suggest the distillery tour but maybe not with 1 yr olds! I think there's a lovely rspb nature reserve near there but not certain of details.

I remember a salmon ladder thing nearby but likely the wrong season for it.

Go to Hettie's Tea Room - lovely cakes!

I wouldn't say there's a lot to do with little ones. I remember being taken to the salmon ladder when I was little and thinking it was the most boring thing I'd ever visited. Sorry that isn't very helpful~!

Faskally Wood should be quite accessible with prams/pushchairs and relatively flat for toddlers. In the town itself there is a park at the recreation ground across the river from the theatre. You can cross the river via the 'swing bridge' towards the dam and fish ladder where there seems to be a new visitor centre that opened just this week! www.perthcity.co.uk/pitlochry-dam-visitor-centre/

We did Hetties's. Thanks for the tip!

You're welcome
