Tour Scotland Winter travel video, with Scottish, music, of a road trip drive on various roads, including the A826, A827 and A9, to visit Pitlochry in the Highlands of Perthshire. Pitlochry is normally very busy, but is now very quiet due to the coronavirus pandemic. The town of Pitlochry, Baile Chloichridh or Baile Chloichrigh in Gaelic, is largely a Victorian town, which developed into a tourist resort due to Queen Victoria visiting the area in 1842, and the arrival of the railway in 1863. Perthshire, Scottish Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt, officially the County of Perth and Kinross, is a historic county and registration county in central Scotland. Geographically it extends from Strathmore in the east, to the Pass of Drumochter in the north, Rannoch Moor and Ben Lui in the west, and Aberfoyle in the south; it borders the counties of Inverness-shire and Aberdeenshire to the north, Angus to the east, Fife, Kinross-shire, Clackmannanshire, Stirlingshire and Dunbartonshire to the south and Argyllshire to the west. Perthshire is known as the “ big county ”, due to its roundness and status as the 4th largest historic county in Scotland. It has a wide variety of landscapes, from the rich agricultural valleys in the east, to the high mountains of the southern Highlands.
