Pictish Stone - Dunfallandy
by weewatty
Found this hidden gem whilst out visiting a farm on work business, thought it was worth a stop off.
Thought to date back to the 9th Century this ornately carved stone is protected by a glass encasement, making it difficult to photograph in certain light.
Just beside it you will find the ancient Mauseleoum at Dunfallandy House, both these are well worth the trip up the 40 or so steps to where they are located.
You can find the stone by heading towards Dunfallandy House, approx 1 mile outside of Pitlochry.

The picture above is of the towns main street which I explored a bit after arriving. Its quite touristy but pretty too. Pitlochry has won "Britain in Bloom" awards and there were beautiful flowers everywhere!

"Flower Town"
Pitlochry won an award for its flowers sometime ago (unsure when or if it is ongoing) and even in the rain, the flowers are quite remarkable.
It's a nice little town near Perth on the eastern side of Scotland. I stopped here on my way up north.
Some memorable things:
walking 6 miles (the LONG way) to the Edradour Distillery in the rain, a nice trial of whiskey at the middle of that walk, the lambs in the fields who entertained me while I walked, the fish ladder, a strange encounter with Snow White and the 7 dwarves.
