A trip to the Drovers Inn, always good for tourists?

http://www.thedroversinn.co.uk/

Pitlochry with its Salmon ladder, and a visit for lunch or tea at Queens View?

A train ride upto Inverness through the lovely Scottish scenery, with time for shopping at the other end.

Southern trip down to Moffat, Caithness Glass to see them making their paperweights and vases, or a trip to the famous anvil at Greta green, with lunch in the pub there?

The Scotlands Hotel at Pitlochry does have a fitness centre with a decent swimming pool, which was open to non-members who wished to buy a day-pass, but its worth checking if they still do this if intrested, as its a couple of years since we were last up that way.

Don't know where you are based, but suggestions as well as the Drovers Inn -Titan crane in Clydebank, Auchentoshan Distillery also in Clydebank do tours. A day on the Waverley, the Tall Ship. If kids are involved, Xscape at Braehead. Kelvingrove Art Gallery. Lomond Shores at Balloch and you can rent canoes/pedalos

When in Blair Athol - Aviemore with a trip on the funicular. Have you been to the bakery at the Watermill in Blair Athol? Very quaint, and do great coffee and home baking, plus sandwiches, seems very popular when we were there in June

Go on this website, there's loads happening around Blair Atholl and Pitlochry over the next few weeks.

I would also second Xscape at Braehead, or a day trip to Dundee, visit Discovery Point, the RRS Discovery and the Verdant Works Museum (they were voted 5* visitor attractions by the Scottish Tourist Board) or the newly renovated McManus Galleries museum or the Sensation Science Centre.

Pitlochry as suggested with a trip to Edradour distillery - Scotland's smallest and IMHO prettiest and I've been to a few distilleries to compare - not three in a day, but when in Islay you don't have much else to do!
