Tigh-Na-Cloich ( the name means 'house of the sentinel stone' in Gaelic).A former lookout on the Roman encampment on the banks of the river Tay..
The property occupies the site of a large rock which was removed by blasting when the hotel buildings were erected in 1879.
The rock was known as the 'The Sentinel Stone' and gave its name to Pitlochry. The name Pitlochry is a corruption of the Gaelic 'Pit -Cloch-aire' meaning 'the placeby the sentinel stone' and is believed to have been associated with the Picts of 2000 years ago.
