The Pitlochry theory test centre isn’t what you might expect. Rather than being in a dull, grey room on an industrial estate, it is located within a very picturesque hotel and coaching inn! While we certainly don’t recommend sneaking in a pint (if you’re of age) before the test, there’s no harm in treating yourself to a snack and a sit down after the test! Another perk to this test centre is that it sits just opposite the local train station, making it a convenient option for locals and visitors alike.
