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.
Winter opening hours
NB: We are closed from Sunday 18 December until Friday 3 February 2023.
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.
What to see
The learning space is made from native windblown timber and features:
- A permanent exhibition about our work, packed with inspiring photography and a stirring four-minute film.
- Unique audio journeys that whisk you to Sandwood Bay, Ben Nevis, Knoydart and Skye.
- The Alan Reece Gallery, displaying work from different artists throughout the year
- A selection of books and other merchandise for sale
- A meeting room for hire, kitted out with full audio/visual equipment
