Pitlochry (Baile Chloichridh in Gaelic), is a burgh in the council area of Perth and Kinross, Scotland, lying on the River Tummel. It has an estimated population of 3,300.
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.
