Shopping in and around Pitlochry

Shopping is a favourite pastime of visitors to Pitlochry. The town centre is compact and easily explored on foot, with the shops mainly located along Atholl Road. Having won many awards in recent years for its floral displays, including Scotland In Bloom, the town centre is colourfully bedecked with floral sculptures, summer bedding and hanging baskets, all of which add to the enjoyment of shoppers.

The absence of large national chains is another reason for shopping here. Pitlochry is largely a town of small, independent shops, with the emphasis on gifts, crafts, tartans and woolens. You will find souvenirs here, but you will also discover genuine quality and shops a little out of the ordinary, such as the Heathergems factory showroom. And when you need a break from shopping, there are lots of restaurants, pubs and cafés where you can relax over a meal or refreshments.
