Pitlochry Highland Nights
Highland Nights in Pitlochry

What to expect

Every Monday evening - between the end of May and the start of September - is Highland Night in Pitlochry!

This wonderful weekly event has been happening in Pitlochry for years, and is organised and run by the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band. The Band are central to the evening, and offer locals and visitors a chance to experience the pipes and drums. You can walk behind the band as they play and march from Fishers Hotel, on Atholl Road down to the Recreation Ground.

Once there you can get comfy on the terraced seating, and settle in to be entertained, not only by the Pipe Band but also other musicians, singers, scottish country dancers and highland dancers who are all giving performances that bring to life the spirit of the Highlands. These shows often feature audience participation, creating an interactive experience that enhances your enjoyment.
