Heathergems Visitor Centre and Factory Outlet Shop 22 Atholl Road, Pitlochry Perthshire PH16 5BX Scotland, UK Heathergems Opening Hours - Autumn 2010 We Are Currently Open Seven Days Per Week - 9am till 5pm Heathergems Visitor Centre - How to Find Us View Larger Map Heathergems is a unique and imaginative range of Scottish Jewellery and Celtic Giftware made from natural Heather in Scotland. Our Visitor Centre and Factory Outlet Shop is situated in Pitlochry in the central Highlands of Scotland, an area of outstanding true natural beauty. Pitlochry is the ideal location for Heathergems as the surrounding hills provide the natural heather from which our unique Scottish jewellery is made. The heather is collected locally, cleaned and then the stems are dyed and compressed into a solid block. This block is then cut into slices and shaped into individual pieces by our skilled crafts people. Every piece of this hand-made jewellery is an original, as no two are ever the same, making it the perfect Scottish souvenir and gift. Heathergems are distributed by our associate company, Charles Buyers & Co Ltd. from our head office in Irvine on the West Coast of Scotland. We carry large stocks of all our products, all of which are displayed in our Factory Outlet Shop. We are the only manufacturers of this patented and unique product anywhere in the World. We look forward to welcoming you to Heathergems in Pitlochry. No other small highland town is as interesting or as beautiful as Pitlochry. Its most unusual feature is the Pitlochry Festival Theatre, a professional "rep" with a full season's programme. Many other arts and musical events are staged throughout most of the year and they contrast with Pitlochry's situation on the shores of Loch Faskally and the River Tummel. Pitlochry was a famous destination for the rich, Victorian sporting gentleman wanting Scotland's best salmon angling, deer stalking and grouse shooting. It now boasts a highly varied bird life surrounding its granite and baronial architecture and the Faskally salmon ladders bring you to within a few feet of migrating salmon and sea trout. Eating styles vary from bistros to restaurants and Pitlochry is on the "Whisky Trail". Last but not least, a Heathergem made in Pitlochry from local Perthshire heather will be a lasting reminder of Scotland, for ever.

Hereabouts the UKs biggest salmon was caught at 64lbs in the mighty rivers that pass through wooded banks of the oldest and tallest hardwoods in Europe. Perthshire abounds in mountains over 3000ft. and Ben Lawyers is only 14 feet short of 4000! Famous drove roads split the mountains into spectacular rambles, through wilderness and glen where sights of eagle, stag, peregrine and otter are not uncommon and the untouched landscape is home to many species of birds. The famous rolling heather moors are the best in Scotland and stretch from the soaring mountains to the North, East and West and to Pitlochry in the south. Don't stay too long, otherwise you will never want to go home!
