Pitlochry
& Perthshire
Pitlochry and its surrounding area have much
to offer the visitor to Scotland in addition to its
spectacular location.
One of the high spots is our Festival Theatre.
Each year from May to October the theatre stages
a series of six plays, with daily evening
performances and matinee performances on
Wednesday and Saturday.
The traditional skill of malt whisky distilling
can be viewed (and sampled) at our two local
distilleries - the contrasting Blair Athol and
Edradour, the smallest in Scotland, both within
easy walking distance of the hotel.
The dam and fish ladder in Loch Tummel are
a dramatic addition to the scenery and allow
visitors a better chance of seeing salmon leaping .
Visitors new to Scotland will be fascinated by
the spectacular views that present themselves at
every turn, the variety of wildlife and the easy
access to some of the most spectacular untamed
wilderness in Europe. Our staff will be happy to
help you find the locations and points of interest
that will most appeal to you and make your visit
memorable.

Location
The Scottish Highlands, wild and rugged, have a
timeless magical quality. At their very heart, where the
River Tummel meets the River Tay, sits the historic
small town of Pitlochry.
The Atholl Palace Hotel sits on Cnock Farrie, the watch
hill, in 48 acres of parkland and gardens, overlooking
the town and the scenic splendour of the surrounding

its many varied attractions.

Bedrooms
Almost all of our 108 bedrooms offer panoramic views of the
glorious Perthshire countryside.
You can escape to a bygone era and stay in one of our
turret Suites. These are superior double-bedded rooms with an
elevated lounge at the top of the Turrets.
Alternatively, our valley rooms have superb south facing views
of the Tummel Valley and garden view rooms overlooking the lawns
and tennis courts to Craigower Hill and Ben-y-Vrackie.
We also have a range of feature rooms,
which have canopied beds or romantic
four poster beds.
Every room has more than just the
comforts of home. All the usual
refinements of private bathrooms,
telephone and colour TV are provided.
Many of our guests enjoy the
excellent sports facilities and activities
that are available both on-site and at
nearby locations.
Locally, Pitlochry golf course is one of the most scenic in
Britain, excellent fishing is available as are activities such as
quad -biking for groups of 12 or more
Within our 48 acre parkland we have tennis courts, the venue for
the annual Highland Tennis Championships and a nine hole ‘Pitch
and Putt’ course. Amongst the rhododendrons on the front lawn
is a putting green.
The ManorHouse
Set on a plateau at Corriebruach just south-west of the hotel, the Manor House was originally built in 1871 for the owners of the hotel.
This former Victorian mansion has now been considerably upgraded to
offer a relaxing, peaceful haven with up to ten rooms finished to a high
standard within very easy walking distance from the main hotel, but
also with separate vehicular access and parking.
The secluded location benefits from plenty natural light whilst
retaining a certain solitude and privacy.
The whole Manor House may be taken as a complete unit, for parties
of up to 20, or individual rooms and suites can be taken according to
choice. As a whole it would be perfect for a family party attending a
wedding.

Lavender Spa
We have created the Lavender Spa which enjoys spectacular
views of the Scottish countryside. Our spa draws on its heritage
as a Victorian health hydro using the powers of our natural
spring water which comes from the mountain of Ben- y -Vrackie
which stands over Pitlochry. These waters are used as a tonic
and are unique to the Atholl Palace as is the fresh Highland air.
‘Soak up nature itself….’
The relaxation room
A perfect retreat, the spa combines hands on treatments and
relaxation in our thermal rooms and spa pools.
We have created an exclusive menu of luxury performance
treatments from Phytomer. Phytomer, meaning plants of the
sea, combines marine extracts from oceanic plant life to create
performance skincare whilst maintaining a natural organic
solution to innovative face and body care. Our expert therapist
will select a personalised experience from the number of
treatments that are unique to the Lavender Spa. The Lavender
Spa is an ideal hideaway designed to offer an escape to time
itself, providing a perfect place for day dreaming while you let
your cares dissolve away, restoring a sense of balance and
harmony to your mind and body. Our team are on hand to get
you ready.

One thing is for sure: when you leave, you will long to return and

For the Wedding Reception of A Lifetime
Of all the events in life there is probably nothing more memorable and important than your
Wedding.
To provide the perfect setting what could be better than a characterful building with its own local
history and retaining the features and furniture of its period.
The Atholl Palace provides all the ingredients, added individuality and charm for your day. Our
professional caring staff are on hand at all times to make sure the big day goes off without a hitch,
whether it is a small family affair or a grand social occasion.
Menus For all weddings at the Atholl Palace Hotel our policy is to serve a pre-set menu; for
avoidance of doubt this means that there is not a multi choice option. This is based on experience
of catering for many very special gatherings, coupled with our assurance of the highest quality of
service. Should, on the day, anyone express a wish to have something else, we will readily assist.
We will of course offer vegetarian and other specialist options if required.
We don’t offer menu tasting but do invite the bride & groom to enjoy dinner in the restaurant
with our compliments.
Bar & Drinks We have a recommended choice of drinks for your reception.
Private bar
facilities are available, and drinks may be charged to your wedding account or served on a cash
basis. We do not allow corkage .
Cake Stand & Knife We are happy to make available an 18” square or round cake stand
and knife. If you need advice of cake suppliers, please ask.
Table Plan We supply menu cards, table numbers, table plan display and help you with your
table settings. We would also supply white table linen and napkins. We can also offer place cards
for a small charge.
Master of Ceremonies A member of our Management Team would be delighted to
guide you through the formalities on the day, if required, and we could (at an extra cost) provide
a uniformed Master of Ceremonies.
Accommodation For weddings of 40 or more, the Bride and Groom are invited to be our
guests at the hotel for accommodation and breakfast on their wedding night.
Plant a Tree Planting trees are a wonderful way to commemorate your special event. Trees
provide a host of benefits whether they are planted in your own back yard or across the globe.
Trees can, like sponges, help sequester carbon and thereby reduce the impact of man-made
CO2 emissions. Locally, trees provide habitat for wildlife, food for people and animals, and stabilize
the soil. A tree lasts for generations and you can come back each year and see how it has
grown. Ask us for more information.
Wedding Ceremony We are able to cater for couples who wish to hold their wedding
ceremony in the hotel, however room hire charges will apply. The charges are as follows —
Corrie Room £175.00, Salon £300.00 and Bow Lounge £350.00. Verandah £250.00.

Wedding Etiquette
To help you prepare for your special day we have prepared a suggested Wedding Etiquette.
The Receiving Line
This is a formal greeting of your guests before you conclude the drinks reception.
It is not essential, but does ensure that you meet all your guests:
Bride's Mother
Bride’s Father
Bride and Groom
Groom's Mother
Groom's Father
Bridesmaids - Optional
Best Man - Optional
Cutting the Cake
This is announced by the toastmaster or Best Man, the first slice is then cut by the Bride and
Groom. During speeches the cake is sliced for your guests. The cake may be displayed and cut
during the drinks reception, before the start of the meal. The cake can either be served with
coffee after the meal or with the evening buffet.
Top Table Seating Plan
When preparing your seating plan the traditional layout is usually as follows:
Bridesmaid - Chief Bridesmaid - Groom's Father - Bride's Mother - Groom - Bride - Bride's
Father – Groom’s Mother - Best Man - Bridesmaid.
You can, of course, change the layout to your preferred requirements
Toasts and Speeches
These follow the meal and are usually made in the following order:The Bride and Groom
This is normally by the Father of the Bride or a close friend the reply is made by the
Bridegroom.
The Bridesmaids
Proposed by the Bridegroom after his reply to the first toast. The response to this is made by
the Best Man.
Nowadays, although it is rare, the bride may also wish to say a few words!
Our Suggested Timetable for the Day
Whilst you are very welcome to suggest your own preference as to how your ‘Special Day’
should go, our years of experience lead us to recommend the following itinerary
2pm
Your arrival at the carriage porch, to be greeted by our staff, and escorted to
the main lounge where the Drinks reception is held. The wedding cake on
display in the centre of the lounge, may be admired by your guests whilst
your photographer arranges all you require inside and on the Terrace. If you
wish your Ceremony to be in the hotel, this should be at 1.30-2.00pm.
Ceremonies outwith the hotel should begin at 12.30-1.00pm
3.pm
We will ensure all your guests drinks are topped up, before we
announce the cutting of the cake.
3.15pm
Should you wish to formally meet and greet your guests before the meal,
this will be arranged in the appropriate area of the lounge.
3.45pm
After passing through the receiving line, your guests will take their seats for
the meal. You may or may not choose to be piped in to the top table, as the
brand new Mr & Mrs!
4.00pm
The meal is served, accompanied by the wine of your choice.
6pm
As the coffee is poured, we will serve the toasting glass of champagne or
sparkling wine prior to the speeches. It is normal for the Best Man to be in
charge of proceedings at this point.
6.30pm
After the formalities of the speeches, there is normally a break allowed, in
order that we may, if necessary, reorganise the room prior to the evening’s
entertainment and allows your guests to relax, stroll on the Terrace and
freshen up. This is also the time when your entertainers for the evening can
conclude their setting up – we strongly recommend that you ask them to
have as much possible set up before the afternoon’s events!
7.00pm
Any invited evening guests will be arriving at this time and welcomed by the
Bride and Groom.
7.30pm
Bride and Groom take the floor for the first dance, signalling the start of the
evening’s entertainment.
9pm
The evening finger buffet is normally served at this time, during the band’s
break, and cleared at 10pm when the band is ready to recommence.
12.00am
Cloaks and carriages
Whilst your private bar will close at 12.30am, our Stagshead bar will remain open for hotel
residents

may lose substantial profits as a consequence. With your agreement, we would suggest the situation
