Pitlochry is a burgh in the county of Perthshire in Scotland, lying on the River Tummel. Pitlochry is administered as part of the council area of Perth and Kinross. Pitlochry is largely a Victorian town, which developed into a tourist resort because of Queen Victoria visiting the area in 1842 and the arrival of the railway in 1863.
Pitlochry remains a popular tourist resort today and is particularly known as a centre for hillwalking, surrounded by mountains such as Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion. Pitlochry is popular as a base for coach holidays. The town has retained many stone Victorian buildings, and the main street has an unusual period cast iron canopy over one side.
Pitlochry's main tourist attraction is its setting, with the surrounding mountains attracting hillwalkers and climbers. Other outdoor activities, such as angling and boating, are also popular. Being in the geographical centre of Scotland, it is a popular touring base (it is a well-known local saying that a map of Scotland can balance on the head of a pin under Pitlochry).
The town of Pitlochry , which lies 26 miles north of Perth is bypassed by the main A9 Inverness to Perth road since 1981, and has a railway station on the Highland Main Line. The town of Pitlochry lies at the eastern end of the Rob Roy Way, a long distance footpath that runs from Drymen.

Ghost of ~Coffin Mill, Polepark Road & Brook Street, Dundee, Scotland
Haunting History of :
Coffin Mill, Polepark Road & Brook Street, Dundee, Scotland
Weaving was big business in Dundee as far back as the 16th century. After the Union with England in 1707 ended military hostilities, Dundee recovered from the devastation of the Siege of Dundee by General Monck in 1651 and established itself as an industrial and trading centre.
Coffin Mill named because of its shape.
A connecting bridge which spans two sections of the former mill is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a girl who crosses it every night. One story says that she was thrown off the bridge after she informed her manager that she was pregnant.
Coffin Mill, Brook Street:On September 5 1945, a newspaper printed a startling story with the headline: “Ghost walks bridge Dundee throng visits scene The White Lady of Coffin Mill.”
A large crowd gathered at the mill after a lady dressed in white was apparently spotted walking across the metal bridge that connected two of the buildings over the courtyard.
Geoff said: “So many people turned up that the police were called. They called for the crowd to disperse, but they got very unhappy about this and some young people began throwing stones at the windows and, for some reason, broke milk bottles at the entrance to the mill.
“To satisfy the public that everything was normal, a police officer and the works’ watchmen went round the building shining a torch in every window they passed.
“According to witness reports, the ghost was supposedly a young female mill worker who got her hair stuck in machinery and was crushed to death.”
Another version implies that that ghost actually haunts the Verdant Works mill that is 500 yards away, as Geoff Holder points out in his book haunted Dundee there are a number of similarities between the two mills, and they both have a metal bridge, and a girl was reported to have died there in similar circumstances with her hair becoming trapped in machinery. It seems other entities are reported within the Verdant Works also, with spectral voices being heard and a reflected apparition. The Verdant Works lies just to the west of Dundee city centre. It was once home to three steam engines running 70 power looms and 2,800 spindles. And 500 people were once employed preparing and spinning jute here and weaving it in another factory across the road.
Today the Verdant Works serves as a remarkable museum remembering, celebrating and explaining Dundee's jute industry.
Coffin Mill is now home to private flats.

Dunalastair House Estate
(IF YOU ARE VISITING DUNALASTAIR HOUSE, PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLES UP THE PRIVATE ROAD TO THE HOUSE. Park at the main roadside and walk.)
Dunalastair Estate originally belonged to the Robertson family whose clan lived in and around this area. The clan name is Donnachaidh and there is a clan society of this name. Clan Donnachaidh names include Robertson, Duncan and Reid to name but a few.
The great poet chieftain, Alexander Robertson of Struan, a staunch Jacobite, lived in a house called the Hermitage which is thought to have been on the site of or near to the present Dunalastair House. This was destroyed by fire after the 1745 uprising. A double tower house was built on the site in around 1800 which was known as Mount Alexander.
In 1853 the Estate was sold by George Duncan Robertson, 18th Chief of Clan Donnachaidh, to General Sir John Macdonald of Dalchosnie. He demolished the house and built the present house (now a ruin) which was completed in 1859. General Sir John Macdonald commanded the land forces in Scotland. He also built much of the village of Kinloch Rannoch including the Episcopal Church in the square and the MacDonald Arms Hotel (now called the Dunalastair Hotel Suites and no longer belonging to the estate).
Around 1881 the estate was sold by Alastair Macdonald, son of Sir John, to Hugh Tennent who only owned it for nine years and died aged 27 in 1890 and, in 1891, the Estate was bought by James Clark Bunten who was Chairman of the Caledonian Railway Company and had a foundry and engineering works in Glasgow, Anderston Foundry. He was the present owner's great-grandfather.
James Bunten's only child, a daughter, Jeannie, married Frank de Sales La Terrière, (whose ancestor had left France for Quebec in the 1760s and one of whose sons came to Britain early in the 19th century). The present owner, Ian Cameron de Sales La Terrière lives with his wife, Rose, on the estate and runs it with the help of family members and a team of six full-time and several part-time staff. The La Terrière's have six children and ten grandchildren, so far…
The estate consists of various enterprises: There is farming, which involves the raising of Luing cattle and mostly Blackface sheep; forestry with a variety of trees being planted and harvested, including some land fenced off from stock to enable it to regenerate into native woodland; trout fishing on Dunalastair Loch and on the River Tummel; deer stalking, grouse and pheasant shooting; and holiday cottages. The family works closely with conservation bodies in the running of the estate.
The east part of Schiehallion was sold to the John Muir Trust in 2000 but the estate retains the western half. The JMT have repaired the path up Schiehallion from the environmental and human point of view, as it had become an eyesore from the many feet tramping up it.
Dunalastair House was designed by Andrew Heiton, a Perth-based architect, who also designed the Atholl Palace Hotel and Dunkeld railway station. It was really only used as it was built to be used up until the First World War because after that the staff needed to run such a big house were no longer available.
During the Second World War it was requisitioned and used first as a Polish boys’ and then girls’ school and during this period it was considerably damaged, which included the loss of a Millais painting which was destroyed in a fire in the drawing room.
The house’s contents were sold in the mid fifties after the current owner’s grandmother’s death and the house was badly vandalised in the sixties when the lead was stolen from the roof. In those days it was not viable to repair it and no grants were available and it deteriorated very quickly from then on with most removable parts being stolen.
Various ideas have been put forward for restoring it, but the cost would be very great indeed, and nothing has so far come of any of them.

Winter Drive Along South Road By Loch Tummel Highland Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of a Winter road trip drive along the icy, snow covered, somewhat dangerous, single track South road by Loch Tummel on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire. This is the homeland of the Clan Robertson, also known as Clan Donnachaidh, children of Duncan whose lands once streteched from the Moor of Rannoch to the gates of Perth. The Clan Chiefs had strongholds at Struan, Loch Tummel and Invervack. Later these were located at Rannoch and Mount Alexander, now Dunalastair, further West from here. The clan's first recognised chief, Donnchaidh Reamhar, Stout Duncan , son of Andrew of Atholl, was a minor land owner and leader of a kin group around Dunkeld, and as legend has it, an enthusiastic and faithful supporter of King the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence; he is believed to have looked after King Robert after the Battle of Methven in 1306. The clan asserts that Stout Duncan's relatives and followers, not yet known as Robertsons, supported Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. His descendants became known as the Duncansons, or Gaelic Clann Dhònnchaidh. Duncan is believed to have been killed at the Battle of Neville's Cross and was succeeded by Robert, from who the Clan Robertson takes its name. Robert's brother, Patrick, was the ancestor of the Robertsons of Lude who were the principal cadet branch.
