To Pitlochry

We departed Fort William after a visit to the supermarket and a couple of caches, on the road to Pitlochry for the night.

Our first stop was Spean Bridge, and the Commando Memorial. It was a popular stop for the tour buses, and had the obligatory busking bagpiper setting the mood.

Next stop was Cille Choirill, a 15th-century Roman Catholic church situated in Roy Bridge, a picturesque setting on the side of a hill overlooking Glen Spean.

We stopped for lunch at the local pub and were the only patrons in the bar.

We arrived in Pitlochry around 3pm, checked into our hotel and walked down the hill into town to visit the dam and fish ladder.

The fish ladder is a series of 34 pools over 310 metres which allow the salmon to travel upstream during breeding season, bypassing the dam.

Dinner was at a local cafe, before the walk back to our hotel.Lue lisää
