Moulin
by lou31
Moulin is a short walk uphill from Pitlochry. The village is only small but very pretty and worth the walk. There is suppose to be an interesting tree up there though I didn't get to see it. It's the old judging tree and it was from where up until 1746 local justice was dispensed.
PITLOCHRY FESTIVAL THEATRE
by hevbell
Otherwise known as the "theatre in the hills", it celebrated its 50th anniversary last year (2001). As well as the regular performances there are backstage tours available although these are very popular and advance booking is recommended if not essential. The theatre is unusual in that it often has more than one production on at a time, playing on different nights. I was lucky when I was there as I got to see the new play "The Shellseekers" based on one of my mums favourite books and a great production.
If you aren't going to see a production its still worth visiting the theatre. There is a restaurant and also a fair sized art exhibit in the foyer. Just a short walk away is the Power Station and Dam which is also home to the Salmon Ladder. If you are here at the right time of year (and I wasn't unfortunately) you should see loads of salmon migrating up or down stream via the ladder.
