Join us as we honour Robert Burns with a week-long celebration steeped in Scottish tradition.
Stroll along the Birks of Aberfeldy, famously visited by Burns himself in 1787. Let his words echo as you experience this enchanting landscape:
Bonnie lassie, will ye go,
Will ye go, will ye go,
Bonnie lassie, will ye go
To the birks of Aberfeldy!
Treat yourself to a dram to accompany our Burns themed Scottish menu from the 22nd to 26th January 2026.
Our bar offers over 100 varieties of whisky, so you’ll have ample choices for toasting the Bard in true Scottish spirit.
At McKays we’ll have the fire on in the bar to welcome you to Pitlochry for the weekend.
22ND – 26TH JANUARY

“Stayed here for one night with a group of friends. It is so central within Pitlochry, a great base to explore from. But much more than that, the staff are superb, the rooms are clean, spacious and well looked after, the food is great. They have entertainment most Fridays/Saturdays. This was a first-class experience and I would highly recommend it. Cant wait to go back.”

“Spent 3 nights at McKay Hotel in their Athol Cottage, was a great experience very clean and roomy, we treated it like you would just booking a Hotel room with the added advantage of having the two bedrooms, a sitting room, a small kitchen and bathroom, had our breakfasts in the Main Hotel, and a couple of dinners, food is absolutely amazing.. We will definitely use McKays again. and would without reservation recommend this Hotel”
