📢 Important Travel Update for Anyone Visiting Pitlochry This Summer
Pitlochry is open and very much looking forward to welcoming you — but if you're heading here via the A9 from the south, there's something you need to know before you travel.
From Monday 15th June 2026, Transport Scotland will be carrying out essential repairs to the A9 northbound slip road into town. The entry slip road will be closed until Hogmanay 2026 while a permanent structural fix is made to the road banking — badly damaged by the River Tummel over two winters.
✅ Southbound slip road out of Pitlochry remains fully open.
🔄 Diversion: Simply continue past Pitlochry and use the northern slip road signed for Killiecrankie — it adds just a few minutes to your journey.
All the walks, shops, eateries, and attractions are fully open. We'd say that's still more than worth the detour. 😊
