Scottish vacations are amazingly popular today due, in part, to the strength of the $ against the UK pound making vacations to England, Wales and Scotland pretty cheap, especially if travelling from from the USA. In the article below we introduce you to three splendid places to visit in Pitlochry, the Killiecrankie Visitor Centre, the Scottish Hydro Electric Visitor Centre and Blair Castle.
Scottish Hydro Electric Visitor Centre
A power station is an unusual location for a tourist center, but this is just where you will discover the Scottish Hydro Electric Visitor Center. The hydro center is found within the resplendent Pitlochry Power Station, and includes interactive exhibits describing the history of hydro power in Scotland, starting in the 1940’s up until the present day. The Pitlochry Dam, which was constructed between nineteen forty seven and nineteen fifty one, offers the interesting opportunity to observe the incredible salmon ladder through three observation areas. Once inside the Scottish Hydro Electric Visitor Centre, there are audio-visual presentations (interactive) explaining this natural spectacle. The turbine hall of Pitlochry Power Station can also be seen from within the Visitor Center.
Blair Castle
Blair Castle, which can be dated back to the 13th century, is the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl. The building of Blair Castle started in the year 1269, under the guidance of the Lord of Badenoch, John I Comyn, a close neighbor of the Earl of Atholl. The Earl was absent, fighting in the Crusade’s, when his neighbor began to build of Blair Castle on his land. As soon as the Earl returned to Scotland he complained angrily to the Scottish King, Alexander III about the interloper, and won back his lands. Rather than demolishing the tower than John I Comyn had built, the Earl decided to merge the tower into his own castle. A Great Hall and a series of vaulted chambers were incorporated into the castle over the centuries, by different Earls. It was the second Duke of Atholl who, in 1740, decided to remodel the castle as a Georgian Mansion.
Killiecrankie Visitor Centre
During the time of the Jacobites Killiecrankie, not too far from Pitlochry, found itself filled with the noise of battle. The government soldiers were heavily overwhelmed by the rebel soldiers of the Jacobites, under the control of Bonnie Dundee. During the bloodthirsty battle one of the escaping soldiers managed to jump over the River Garry, which gained the name, Soldier’s Leap. The area about the gorge and pass were a favored place of Queen Victoria.
To discover facts about the famous battle you can visit the Killiecrankie Visitor Centre. The Killiecrankie Visitor Centre has a selection of otherdisplays and services, which include; ranger service’s, a natural history of the area and guided walks as well as many others.
