The station yard has been made into gardens, with old signs and other railway memorabilia lying about.

The original sidings have been retained, and the train carriages sitting on them converted into a youth hostel.

The lively Pittentrail Inn is on the north side of the village, near the war memorial.

Etymologically speaking, the first element the name Pittentrail is pett, a Pictish word borrowed into Gaelic meaning "land-holding, unit of land".

[1] A neolithic chambered cairn was located in the hamlet next to the former Pittentrail Inn but was built at some point after 1909.
