We are really excited to announce that our popular volunteer-led walking festival, the Gathering, will take place from Friday 24 to Monday 27 April in Pitlochry.

Our Blairgowrie & District Ramblers Group is organising the programme and leading the walks - including some exciting new routes in this much-loved walking area.

The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel will be our festival hub and the starting point for all walks. Locally-hired transport will depart from the hotel on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
