The pass of Killiecrankie has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and the steep paths and deep glen allow you many different perspectives on the river, the glen itself and the surrounding trees.
The Pass of Killiecrankie lies about midway between Pitlochry and Blair Atholl. A little under a mile and a half long, it is a narrow, steep sided glen cut by the River Garry through the surrounding high ground, and forms the most constricted part of what has throughout history been the main route between the Highlands and the Lowlands.
The National Trust for Scotland's Killiecrankie Visitor Centre is a little to the south of the actual village of Killiecrankie. The visitor centre is well worth a stop in its own right, as it gives a fascinating insight into the background of the Pass of Killiecrankie and the wider area. It also has a well stocked shop. But the main reason to stop at the Killiecrankie Visitor Centre is to enjoy a very striking chunk of Scottish scenery, and to understand the part that this place played in an important episode in Scottish history.
With direct access to the beautiful Pass of Killiecrankie, the deep river gorge formed by the River Garry, the whitewashed 1840s house has been a hotel since 1939.
A fine dining experience, the menu is equally inpsired by Japanese Kaiseki cuisine and the food stories of Scotland. Always enjoyable and always consistent, with produce sourced from excellent suppliers and the abundant kitchen garden, this establishment is "boundary-pushing..with lots of cheek and zero haughtiness" (New York Times).

Bungee Jump from the River Garry Bridge, at the only permanent bungee location in the UK.
The bungee jump (40 metres or 132 feet) is located just outside Killiecrankie and 4 miles from the tourist town of Pitlochry. From the bungee platform located under the bridge there are spectacular views to be enjoyed before you leap out into the fresh air falling toward the water below at up to 50 miles an hour.
You can also enjoy jumping in the dark if you are brave enough - ask for the blackout bungee option.
There's also a new tree-top, zip-wire experience to enjoy.
Queen's View lies at the heart of Highland Perthshire, and it's the area's most popular visitor attraction. Just one look is enough to tell you why.
When Queen Victoria visited in 1866, she assumed that the sweeping view west along Loch Tummel was named after her – but she was wrong.
We think the view was really named after Isabella, the first wife of Robert the Bruce, who lived more than 500 years earlier.
Today, you too can enjoy views fit for a queen – along with a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake at the café.
Pick out some gifts at the well-stocked shop and relax before exploring the nearby forests.
