Pitlochry is one of the youngest clubs in our District.  Chartered in 1993, we celebrated our 30th Anniversary in 2023.  We currently have 14 members.

As well as the monthly meetings members enjoy monthly coffee mornings in members’ homes, scrabble evenings, a book group, knitting and crafting, regular walks and outings as well as fundraising for local and international projects.  A monthly newsletter called “The Spoke” is sent out to members and we have our own Facebook page –

Pitlochry (Baile Chloichridh in Gaelic) lies in the heart of Scotland on the banks of the River Tummel and surrounded by the mountains and glens of Highland Perthshire.  Tourism is a mainstay for the town with something for everyone from gentle strolls to hill walks, fishing, two distilleries, and the Pitlochry Festival Theatre.  Events happen all year including the last Highland Games of the season and a Ne’er Day Steet Party.

 Congratulations to Sandra Cairncross of the Pitlochry Club who has had this beautiful photo published in the BBC’s weekly gallery of photos of Scotland! Well done, Sandra – fabulous photo 

For fundraising the club runs several quiz nights each year.  Below are some pictures from one last year and an ad for the next one – Good Luck ladies 

President Margaret’s Charity this year is First Responder Group. Cameron Head, First Responder, visited the Pitlochry Club and demonstrated equipment required in his role as a First Responder. Members held a successful Beetle Drive to raise funds for First Responders.

For many years a group of members looked after the Highland Jewel – a small flowerbed of native plants, with a stone wall and seat – opposite the entrance to the Atholl Palace. This has been a great oportunity for outdoor exercise but also to publicuse the work of Inner Wheel.  The garden has been admired by locals ans tourists alike.

We regularly run craft stalls in the town getting involved in local events is a great way to get ourselves noticed , funraise for great charities and promote Inner Wheel.
