Let's move to: Pitlochry

What's going for it? I had to double take when the train pulled in. I guess I'd heard the word "pit" and assumed the place was some glum hole nestling in the seamy underbelly of Glasgow, not perched prettily on a loch in a glen, all forests, twinkly rivers and Victorian villas. Apparently it got all posh after Queen Victoria popped by for a teacake in 1842. Since then it has been permanently cosseted in high teas, woollen shops, knobbly walking sticks and bracing walks finished off by a tot of whisky. Now, a town with one distillery to itself sounds like heaven. But a town with two? Well! Our cup literally overrunneth. Especially when one is the sweet little Edradour (go and taste it some day). Not, I admit, a place of metropolitan debauchery, but it's a cosy – if slightly twee – place to lay your hat. A 30-minute commute and you're in the mountains. There is one thrilling, cosmopolitan saving grace, though, and I'm not talking about the salmon ladder, monumental as that is – The Festival Theatre, which punches well above its size with occasionally really rather racy plays and a killer theatre festival. Victoria would not have been amused.

The case against Crisply posh in that Miss Jean Brodie kind of way. Wild it's not: a third of the population is pensionable, and not in a Joanna Lumley kind of way.

Well connected? On the A9 from Inverness to Perth, so traffic trudges through the valley. Trains aren't bad, though: 30 minutes to Perth (every two hours); 90 minutes to Dundee and Inverness.

Schools Primaries: quality indicators at Blair Atholl are mostly "good" or "fair", says HMIE, and at Logierait and Grandtully mostly "good". Secondary: quality indicators at Pitlochry High are mostly "good" or "very good".

Hang out at… The bar at the Moulin Hotel for home-brewed beer, the Old Armoury for posh, and Edradour for a nightcap.

Where to buy Hope you like the baronial hunting look. It's basically all posh, though higher and away from the town is poshest of all – or in Cuilc Brae by the golf course. The local grey whinstone makes for pretty cottages. Fair share of bungalows, too.

Market values Very large detacheds, up to seven bedrooms, £400,000-£725,000. Detacheds, £250,000-£400,000. Terraces and small bungalows, £120,000-£250,000.

Bargain of the week Four-bed, old stone semi in nearby Aberfeldy, £140,000 with J&H Mitchell

From the streets

Giles Conisbee "A few good things: walking down the main street knowing it's the only street; wearing wellies; dogs welcome everywhere; Robertson's – the only toy shop I know that sells whisky; more than three cars constitutes heavy traffic."
