John Stewart founded the festival theatre Pitlochry in 1951. John Stewart was a former director of the college known as Skerry’s. The theatre was actually first housed within a tent that was located in Knockendarroch House grounds and this is located within the area known as Lower Oakfield. This tent became semi permanent and it stayed at this location for thirty years until the present theatre was built and opened in 1981.

When visitors are attending matinee performances they will normally be directed to the overflow car park. The Explorer Garden is home to a number of unusual and rare plants and it is run in conjunction with the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh and they develop national collections. The Explorer Garden is also home to a number of unusual buildings and these promote the sustainable uses of timber.

This garden is designed to attract interest all year round however its important that the visitors are able to appreciate that the new plants will need time to develop and grow. This visitor attraction has a range of different facilities that include a café, restaurant and also a bar. These facilities are all located within the theatre building.
