It is largely a Victorian town, whose success as a tourist resort was due to Queen Victoria visiting the area in 1842 and the arrival of the railway in 1863. It remains a popular tourist resort today and is particularly known as a centre for hillwalking, surrounded by mountains such as Ben Vrackie. The town has retained many stone-built Victorian buildings.
Pitlochry's main tourist attraction is its setting, with the surrounding mountains attracting hillwalkers and climbers. Other outdoor activities such as angling and boating are also popular. The town has two whisky distilleries whose visitor centres are popular attractions: Edradour, which is billed as the smallest distillery in Scotland, and Blair Atholl Distillery, which dates back to 1798. The town has many pubs and hotels, including one with a microbrewery. The power station's dam is known for its 310-metre salmon ladder; fish can be viewed swimming from weir to weir within the ladder, via an underwater viewing station or via video from inside the visitor centre. Pitlochry Festival Theatre, which shows up to six plays a week in summer, is popular with visitors and locals alike and plays an important part in the town's tourist industry. The local restaurants tend to be expensive, taking advantage of the town's charm and remote location.
