Blair Castle, Atholl, near Pitlochry, ScotlandPitlochry apparently was Queen Victoria's favorite town, and it boasts a fine railway station to show for it. Go to Pitlochry for hiking year-round, with special events and all skill levels fostered.
The place is filled with people in boots, and shops. The old train station used to be going all the time, and is still very busy. There are grades of hiking trails, each with its own historical tales. One has the soldier's leap - a fellow leaped 18 feet across the gorge here, to escape the Jacobites.

Blair Castle, at Atholl - with the Atholl Highlanders - is nearby. See more at Scotland Road Ways - Atholl.
