Retired Queen’s Nurse Annual Gathering and Holiday 2025

28 April 2025

The sun was out in Pitlochry last week at the QNIS Annual gathering and holiday, which took place for its second year at Fisher’s Hotel. Around 50 retired Queen’s Nurses, volunteer visitors, staff, Trustees, and guests came together to renew friendships, share memories, and enjoy a delicious lunch.

 A large group of older adults gathered outdoors, standing and seated in front of blooming trees and greenery. Many are smiling at the camera, dressed in a variety of colourful and patterned clothing. The setting is a paved area with wicker chairs under a bright, partly cloudy sky.

The Annual Gathering is an opportunity for our retired community to come together and enjoy spending time with others. In addition, around 20 of the retired Queen’s Nurses have stayed on in Pitlochry for a holiday of up to four nights, offering an extended period of fellowship with other retired Queen’s Nurses.

They are dressed in a mix of casual and smart-casual clothing. The background features a plain wall with two framed landscape paintings. The setting appears to be an office or meeting room with carpeted flooring and a tiled ceiling.
