Christmas in Pitlochry and Highland Perthshire

Local departure by coach or home connect service, then on to Pitlochry and our hotel for four nights. We enjoy a mulled wine with a mince pie on arrival to get us into the Christmas spirit.

Today we visit the ‘fair city’ of Perth, receiving its nickname after the Fair Maid of Perth by Sir Walter Scott was published in 1828. This elegant city was once the ancient capital of Scotland, and today has a wealth of museums, art galleries, stunning gardens, along with a palace and racecourse. We then continue to Dundee, with its regenerated waterfront, nautical museums, and the V&A Museum – the first Victoria and Albert Museum outside of London which opened in 2018.

Merry Christmas! Relax in Pitlochry, open some presents, tuck into a traditional turkey dinner, and enjoy the festive atmosphere in the hotel with your fellow travellers.

This morning we visit the stunning Queen’s View lookout point to admire the simply beautiful scenery. This vantage point was much loved by Queen Victoria when she visited in 1866 and was named after her. Enjoy the majestic views of Loch Tummel and the Tay Forest Park. We then call at the pretty village of Aberfeldy before returning to the hotel for a festive cream tea.

We depart the hotel this morning, filled with magical Christmas memories, and return home.
