Falls of Tummel

Once dosed with a cup of coffee ☕ we headed for the local trails along the river for our "easy run." We found our way back to the Pitlochry event grounds, but continued on over the suspension bridge to the west side of River Tummel. We first passed the large Pitlochry Festival theatre, and soon afterwards the fish ladders and dam. The trail meandered along the reservoir, then up near the A9, towards Inverness. Before long we crossed another pedestrian bridge. The forested trail wove through the Faskally forest, a section of the Tay forest park. We did a couple loops around the divergent trails, and back along the forested pond. Eventually we emerged into a more cultivated area, and ran along the River Gerry before looping back towards Pitlochry. We finally reached the hostel 13km and an hour and a bit later😀

After freshening up, and a simple but hearty breakfast we headed out to explore the local shops. We decided to buy some food items in case prices in the Faroes are nuts!

Later, we stopped for dinner at The Auld Smitty. It was a magical sunny evening and the patio was full. One of the sunny tables on the grass area had two empty seats at the picnic table. A asked if we could join the ladies. They were happy to share as they were departing soon after a half-pint.

The theatre was our destination for the evening production of "A Streetcar Named Desire." The theatrical production was very well done. They had a very dynamic stage setup on a rotary platform for quick scene changes. Neither of us had seen the play and found it was a very dark and violent show.Читать далее
