Experience Father's Day

There's something wonderfully special about Father's Day in the Highlands. The longer days and the slower pace of Pitlochry create the perfect setting to spend some meaningful time together. 

Stories, Interviews

At Pine Trees, Father's Day is less about grand gestures and more about shared moments - a dram beside the firepit under the towering pines, a scenic walk through the rolling Perthshire hills or an afternoon spent discovering something new together. Whether the father figure in your life prefers adventure or relaxation, there's no shortage of memorable experiences waiting just beyond our doorstep.  Here are a few of our favourite ways to celebrate during your stay. 

A Toast To The Occasion
No Perthshire escape feels complete with a visit to Blair Athol Distillery, one of Scotland's oldest working distilleries. Just moments from Pine Trees, guests can discover the craftsmanship behind its celebrated Highland single malt before settling down for a hosted tasting session.
It's a wonderfully relaxing way to spend an afternoon - particularly when followed by a relaxed evening back at the hotel with a dram in hand. 

Into the Highlands
For those drawn outdoors, few places capture the beauty of Perthshire quite like the Falls of Bruar. Framed by ancient woodland and dramatic waterfalls, the walk offers spectacular views from historic stone bridges and peaceful spots to pause along the way. 
Closer to home, gentle woodland walks and loch side trails provide equally rewarding opportunities to slow down and soak in the landscape.

For Those Seeking Something More Exhilarating
The Highlands also offer adventure in abundance. A journey with Highland Safaris takes guests deep into rugged Perthshire landscapes aboard specially designed off-road vehicles, guided by knowledgeable kilted rangers.
From sweeping mountain views to the chance to spot local wildlife, it’s an unforgettable way to experience the wildness of the region.

A Slower Pace
Not every memorable Father’s Day requires adventure. Sometimes, the simplest experiences are the most meaningful. An afternoon at Pitlochry Boating Station offers the chance to spend time on the water, enjoy a spot of fishing, or simply take in the calm beauty of the loch and surrounding woodland.
For guests looking to truly unwind, it’s hard to imagine a more peaceful setting.

Time Well Spent
For golf enthusiasts, Pitlochry Golf Course combines beautifully maintained fairways with panoramic Highland scenery, just minutes from the hotel. It’s the kind of course that invites a slower pace — one where the views are every bit as rewarding as the game itself.
