PH16 5NE Tel: 01796 472792 Special: The golf course is situated only two miles from the geographic centre of Scotland, and is surrounded by some of Scotland’s most beautiful, natural countryside. Included in the surrounding area around the growing settlement of Pitlochry lie the Grampian Mountains to the north, including Ben-Y-Vrackie which stands over looking the town and also the River Tummel, which flows through Loch Faskally and meanders in a southeastwardly direction towards the communities of Ballinluig and Dunkeld.
Pitlochry Golf Course has been labelled “The Switzerland of Scotland” in an article published in Golf Illustrated in 1951 by H.J. Chapman. The author described Pitlochry as “ supplying great, invigorating golf in the shadow of the Grampians”, and “having champagne air and entrancing scenery”.

| Name: Edradour Distillery Address: Moulin
Pitlochry
Perthshire Tel: 01796 472095 Special: Edradour is a unique, single Highland malt whisky, to be enjoyed in recognition of those small, significant moments that make up the ebb and flow of life.
Edradour is produced in Scotland's smallest distillery - and is hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three men who are devoted to the time-honoured methods of whisky making. Indeed equipment used at the distillery has remained unchanged since the day the distillery opened and is only just capable of producing commercial quantities. Only 12 casks of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt a rare pleasure for a fortunate few.
If you manage to find it, you will be one of the few people lucky enough to experience its charm - golden in the glass, smooth and creamy with a nutty, honeyed finish.
Enjoy Life's small victories with Edradour. URL: www.edradour.co.uk

From the first festival in 2005 Dougie has delivered, (as far as earthly possible!) his promise of "no song repeated"!!
"I've long dreamt of a 'festival-type' situation where I could really enjoy performing a wide body of my own work. After many years of accumulating quite a lot of songs and tunes it can be frustrating sometimes that concerts can only last a couple of hours!" (Dougie MacLean URL: www.perthshireamber.com
