Dunfallandy Stone

by lou31

If you like walking, head east down Atholl Road and turn right into Bridge Road. This will take you to the Dunfallandy Stone.
Follow the signs, climb the steps and you'll get to the stone which is incased in glass.
Legend has it that St Triduana a nun was forced to marry a son of the royal house. She escaped to a chapel by the Tummel River at Dunfallandy and in gratitude for her release she had the stone carved. A slab of stone with ornate carvings and symbols of zoomorphic designs.
It's not so much the stone that impressed me but the walk along the way. If you keep going past the stone there is some very scenic spots and it makes for a nice quiet walk.

Bouncy Bridge

by weewatty

Crossing the River Tummel and linking Pitlochry Town Centre with the Festival Theatre Site and Fish Ladder is a foot bridge. The bridge is a suspension bridge and seems to be a great delight to youngsters who bounce up and down on it causing quite stomach churning movement, especially if the river is high!!!!

I like the sign shown on the picture put up by the Local Council, DO NOT SWING!! eh?

"Lots to do and see here"

You can watch salmon going up a fish ladder if you arrive at the right time. The smallest distillery in Scotland is nearby; there's a theater festival . . . and most importantly, this is a great place to buy woolens. There are lovely stores throughout the town.

"For a friend . . ."

I have a friend named MacDonald and we share a birthday so I took this photo just for him. Typical architecture for the area too.

"Look past the attractive houses"

When you look past the houses, you see the distant hills. If you love walking, this is the start for a great many lovely walks. It is also the terminus of the Rob Roy Trail. It's unofficial so not well marked. There are copious books and maps; be sure you get them so you know exactly where you are going.
