It's a beautiful sunny Sunday, although it definitely feels like autumn in Pitlochry! 🍂🍂

Our seasonal team members have now finished for the year and returned to their studies or started new careers. Thank you all—we couldn't have made it through the summer without your hard work and support. 🙂

From Monday 14 September, we'll be moving to our autumn opening hours. This means we'll be closed every Monday until spring, but don't worry—you can still enjoy all your favourite treats from Tuesday to Sunday. We'll have plenty of homemade soup to keep you warm, along with our delicious Illy coffee and, allegedly, the best cheese scones in town. 🍰 ☕️.

Our exhibition remains open six days a week, featuring interactive displays that explore the history of hydropower, the workings of our famous salmon ladder, and the future of greener, more sustainable energy.

We'd love to welcome you along—any day except Monday ;)

Have you spotted an additional colourful creature lurking about around our picnic area?

We are delighted to have been chosen by our SSEN Transmission colleagues as the location for their sponsored bear ‘There and back again', part of the Bears Big Adventure Trail 2026.

This follows on from the success of The Hairy Highland Coo trail which we took part in back in 2024, and ‘River’ who now sits beneath the trees looking out over the River Tummel.

This year's trail supports YMCA Tayside and will run throughout the summer, so we look forward to welcoming anyone going on a bear hunt!

📢 Important Travel Update for Anyone Visiting Pitlochry This Summer
Pitlochry is open and very much looking forward to welcoming you — but if you're heading here via the A9 from the south, there's something you need to know before you travel.
From Monday 15th June 2026, Transport Scotland will be carrying out essential repairs to the A9 northbound slip road into town. The entry slip road will be closed until Hogmanay 2026 while a permanent structural fix is made to the road banking — badly damaged by the River Tummel over two winters.
✅ Southbound slip road out of Pitlochry remains fully open.

🔄 Diversion: Simply continue past Pitlochry and use the northern slip road signed for Killiecrankie — it adds just a few minutes to your journey.
All the walks, shops, eateries, and attractions are fully open. We'd say that's still more than worth the detour. 😊
