TOURIST ROUTE TO PITLOCHRY VIA SMA' GLEN

Coming to Craigatin House Pitlochry from Glasgow? Do take the A822 Tourist Route off the A9 to Pitlochry.

From the town of Crieff its an awesome drive through the Sma’ Glen, where you'll pass from the lowlands into the Scottish Highlands.

It is a typical Highland glen in appearance though only a short one and when passing through it it is difficult to think that only a few miles away to the south is lowland country.

The valley is watered by the infant river Almond and the steep sides are clothed with heather and blaeberry plants.


It is void of trees except for a few which flourish in the lower part of the glen.

On a hill overlooking it is a rock known as the Eagles Rock and doubtless in the old days the golden eagle had its eyrie here.

A great way to go when coming to Craigatin House & Courtyard Pitlochry!

Craigatin House & Courtyard Garden Visitors

Our resident red squirrels are now regularly visiting the new squirrel feeder, however they haven't quite figured out the feeder yet! 

They seem happier hanging upside down eating peanuts than opening the lid and eating squirrel food!

Craigatin House climb Ben Vrackie


Ben Vrackie stands behind Pitlochry town towering a total of 841metres (2759ft) above us.


The summit may be reached easily by a direct path from Pitlochry, via Moulin or Killiecrankie. 





As you can see, the summit commands spectacular views of Pitlochry and the surrounding glens. 








A "must do" activity when staying at Craigatin if you enjoy the mountains!
