Scotland Travel Journal ~Kenmore, Aberfeldy and Pitlochry

After indulging at the Highland Chocolatier we headed further out southeast from the A9 along A827 through Aberfeldy to the little Village of Kenmore. This post finishes off our Monday September 16th travels.

We lived in Kenmore, Washington for 20 years. Laura and her family lived in Kenmore for many years, too. We wanted to connect our Kenmore to this Kenmore in Scotland. Kenmore near Aberfeldy Scotland is on Loch Tay.

This photo above is from a walking trail that runs through Kenmore, Washington. Kenmore is located at the top of Lake Washington (Loch Washington) and is about 14 miles from Seattle, Washington.

The photo below is from Kenmore, Scotland.

Beautifully situated on Loch Tay.

We had a short walk about the little village.

Farewell to Kenmore Aberfeldy Scotland.

Laura spotted some castles along the way that would have been fun to explore but it was after visiting hours.

Driving back through Aberfeldy on Kenmore Street.

Further along the road we decided to pull into Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillers.

I have a travel tip for you. Even if you do not enjoy whisky, the distilleries are a great stop to stretch your legs and use the facilities which are mostly labeled Toilets here in Scotland and England. We found the toilets at the distilleries were always clean and nice.

More scenery on our way to Pitlochry where we would be staying for two nights.

After we checked into our rooms at the hotel we walked to the Pitlochry Dam and Fish ladder on our way to dinner in town. We were impressed with the views but there was nothing happening in the fish ladders. The river Tummel runs along Pitlochry.

 

We walked a little further to the Old Mill for our evening meal.

Our after dinner sunset walk to the hotel along the main road through Pitlochry was lovely.

We were ready for a good rest before we set out for more adventures on Tuesday.

Hats off to Josh for his first day of driving in Scotland and thanks be to God for our traveling mercies and blue skies!

  1. What beautiful scenery you had to enjoy while on your travels, Ellen. I’ve enjoyed every picture you have shared from this trip to Scotland.

  2. I love how you connnected the Kenmores! What great photos of the two:) And, yes, hats off to Josh for smooth driving. That is one of the trickiest parts of international travel! Your trip sounds amazing…and looks yummy, too!

  3. I’m enjoying your visit to Scotland Ellen! It’s such a beautiful country. Your photos are marvelous. I especially like the reflections in the river and the gorgeous skies. It’s nice you had a chauffeur! Once one visits the UK it doesn’t let go of your heart! Martha Ellen

  4. Another cinematic post, Ellen! As for the name of the place, we have a town called Canmore close to Banff National Park, a short hour’s drive from our home here in Alberta. A beautiful place too.

  5. So many charming scenes! They almost have a storybook quality. And I’m sure they were even more charming in person! Kudos to Josh for learning to drive European-style!

  6. It’s such a magical looking country — thanks for sharing. So nice to have your own private chauffeur and photographer along )) (Seriously, I think it is absolutely wonderful that you two and your son/dil had such a wonderful trip together. That makes all of the memories even more wonderful!) Sallie

    • Sallie, with the Unicorn being Scotland’s national animal I would agree with you that it is magical! You nailed it on the head how much we enjoy our personal chauffer and photography. They are such a good team and bless us so much. Thank you for stopping by.

  7. Incredible Ellen! This makes me want to hop on the plane and head to Scotland 🙂 It is very heartwarming to see you and your family having so much fun and loved the happy smiling faces. I am impressed with Josh driving over there. Happy end of October to you, and a Happy November!

  8. The ditillery looked interesting–I’ve visited a few in Ireland. We really enjoyed visiting Pitlochry for the day on our trip to Scotland.

  9. Your pictures are always a pleasure to see. What a sweet town that was. The church is so interesting and I have always liked walking through a cemetery.

I read all comments and appreciate them.
