There are about 115 species of pine, which are coniferous trees in the genus Pinus in the family Pinaceae. Pitlochry is a burgh in Perth and Kinross, lying on the River Tummel. Pitlochry dates largely from Victorian times, when it developed as a tourist resort following Queen Victoria’s visit to the area in 1842, and the arrival of the railway in 1863. The area known as Moulin, once a separate village, is older. Moulin Kirk was granted by the Earl of Atholl to Dunfermline Abbey in 1180. Moulin became a burgh of barony in 1511.
