Pitlochry Festival Theater in the Hills Perthshire
Pitlochry Festival Theatre, only 10 minutes away, is a unique cultural experience in the very heart of Scotland. Founded in 1951, it is one of the finest attractions in the local area. Known as ‘Scotland's Theatre in the Hills' - the theatre shows a wide selection of excellent plays including farce, comedy and tragedy. The main season also features regular foyer events, concerts, art and craft demonstrations and pre-performance entertainment. There is now a winter season programme. Pitlochry owes much to Mr John Stewart, who had the vision and drive to start a small theatre here in the Perthshire hills. Initially starting as a tent within a tent at Lower Oakfield, moving to its present location in 1981. It is now known as Pitlochry Theatre has been an immense success and contributed hugely to Pitlochry’s prosperity over the years. Unfortunately John Stewart was never to see the full success of what he had created, as he died suddenly in 1957, aged 55 leaving his house and the theatre to Pitlochry Festival Society Ltd.
