Wild Space visitor centre
Located in the centre of Pitlochry, in the heart of Highland Perthshire, our visitor centre and gallery is an ideal stop-off if you're passing by on the A9.
We are reopening from Wednesday 12 of May! Please scroll down to check our opening hours.
How to find us
The Wild Space is just off the A9, on the corner of Atholl Road and Station Road in the centre of Pitlochry. We are opposite Mackay’s Hotel and two minutes walk from the rail station in Pitlochry and from the Rie-Achan Road car park.
Our gallery
The small gallery space at the rear of the Wild Space provides a perfect venue for artists working in the landscape or using natural materials. It's named after Alan Reece, a John Muir Trust member who helped create our visitor centre to raise awareness of nature and the value of wildness.

Thursday: 10am-4pm
Friday: 10am-4pm

Please note: we might close the premises for up to 1 hour at lunchtime (depending on footfall), to sanitise surfaces.

- A permanent exhibition about our work, packed with inspiring photography and a stirring four-minute film.
