Snapshots of Pitlochry - A Town In The Scottish Highlands

in Photography Lovers3 years ago (edited)

Hey Folks

Last week I took a short trip up to one of my favourite Scottish towns.

Pitlochry is situated in the county of Perthshire and is surrounded by some stunning Scottish mountain scenery.

These are some of the best shots I managed to snap while wandering around the town.

This first shot shows a War Memorial to honour the soldiers from Pitlochry who died in the first and second World Wars.

We stayed in a lovely little bed and breakfast called the Buttonboss lodge.I will show more pictures and video of the lodge when I write up my full travel post later this week.

At the end of the suspension bridge we find a gate leading to some riverside/woodland walks.

Autumn is just around the corner! Lovely photos.

Manually curated by EwkaW from the @qurator Team. Keep up the good work!

I need to get out for some more Autumn photography. It's been cold and rainy here almost every day. Hoping to get out towards the middle of the week. Great snaps!

I can feel the peace of this place. The touch of autumn is awesome.
