Can't remember where i got the soundtrack, it might have been a youtube track to be honest, not sure.

I used to work in Pitlochry during the summers in the early 90s when I was a student. Its a great place! I suppose I can understand some folk may think its boring but it used to be great for parties and the pubs were always full but that's when all the workers in the summer were students (circa 1992 - 1995). Don't know what it would be like now as there are a lot of migrant workers and Scottish students dont do summer jobs anymore! I still head up now and again and still think its a great place

[2M0TXY]

Yep, it's a great place, I'll be back anyway :-)

[ritethenmate]

Pitlochry is boring!!!!

[2M0TXY]

I assume that you live there then?

[ritethenmate]

yeah. its borin like. but the banter u get here is amazing.

there is never a sat nite here where some one isnt drinking.

[2M0TXY]

I can see where you are coming from, where i live I get really sick off on a regular basis. Sometimes it's really hard to see what you have on your own doorstep, it's easy to take it all for granted. From my point of view, Pitlochry is an amazing place, the people who live there are really friendly and only too happy to help out an outsider.

we stayed in the campsite at -1 degree but the expereince was great! It's the heart of Scotland and you should be proud of your place in Scottish history. Well done, I hope we get the opportunity to share dram the next time I visit!

[ritethenmate]

Yeah im from hull, and tht is a ruff place like.

came up here and i hated the quiet, but now its not as quiet as i first thought its just getting no people and meeting mates.

get it rite u can have a good time!!!

only shit hing is its such a small place the police dont have many places to find underage drinkin and tht.

i use to come on holiday here and i thought it was utter bollocks.

[2M0TXY]

Sounds like an excellent day was had by all! It would have been good to be camping up there at the time :-)

My mate (the thin guy in the video) was up at Pitlochry recently, he stayed in the Westfield Hotel.

I was just talking to him on the phone and it looks like we will be back up again in September some time. Another social event in Pitlochry campsite :-) Great fun...

[brucey62]

2motxy  how u doing?

[2M0TXY]

No bad thanks, how you? Wish I was under the canvas somewhere though, haven't been camping for ages...

[brucey62]

thats a nice place 2

[2M0TXY]

It gives that impression to someone passing through :-)

It's full of junkies, alkies, low lifes, degenrates and neds unfortunately. I was driving back from St Andrews today and marvelled at the loveley floral displays and hanging baskets that were on show in the wee towns and villages.

They would rip the flowers from the ground and tear the baskets down in our area.

[AbbieJaneBaybee]

[2M0TXY]
