If there’s one thing I love, it’s the countryside. I know it’s not for everyone, but for me, there’s nothing better than being surrounded by nature. The peace, the open space, and the freedom of living away from the constant noise—it just feels right. I dream of a life in my own little big town, tucked away from the world, with a farm, a horse stable, cows, goats, elephants—yes, elephants—and all the joys of country farm life.
So, when we visited Pitlochry as part of our pre-Valentine's adventure, I was excited. The drive there was just as enjoyable as exploring the city itself. Pitlochry has its fair share of attractions, but what truly captured my heart was the quiet, the vast green landscapes, and, of course, the animals. It felt like a perfect escape.
Pitlochry is a charming town located in Perthshire, Scotland.
First Stop: Pitlochry Kinnaird
Our journey began at Kinnaird, a charming village in Perthshire, Scotland, known for its deep history and breathtaking scenery. The name “Kinnaird” comes from the Scottish Gaelic words ceann ard, meaning "high headland"—which makes sense once you see the views.
One of its gems is the 15th-century Kinnaird Castle, a four-story stronghold once home to the Threiplands of Fingask, a Jacobite family. It was impossible not to stop and take countless photos—the landscape was like something out of a postcard. The fresh air, the rolling hills, and the sense of history all made for a moment worth capturing.
Second Stop: Pitlochry Moulin
Not too far from Kinnaird, we arrived at Moulin, where we made sure to snap a picture with the famous signpost that welcomes visitors with a burst of flowers. Pitlochry is known for its Pitlochry in Bloom initiative, and you can tell they take pride in their floral displays. Every corner felt like a painting, with colors that popped against the green countryside.
