We stayed in Pitlochry in a hotel 10 minutes from the railway station. The accommodation was comfortable, the food and service good, and it stood in lovely grounds. Each day we went in a people carrier driven by our leader to different areas where we saw various species of birds and mammals and went for short walks around lakes and woodlands. Lovely scenery. One evening we visited a hide and saw three badgers and a pine marten feeding - so close, a wonderful experience. We also visited RSPB Loch Garten nature reserve where I got to see an osprey's eyrie (nest) and various wildlife. Our knowledgeable leader pointed out flora and fauna.
