Aberfeldy

Aberfeldy lies in Highland Perthshire, on the banks of the River Tay, which adds to its scenic beauty. It sits at the meeting point of several glens, giving you easy access to surrounding hills and woodland.

The town is approximately 29 miles north of Perth and near the dramatic landscapes of the Tummel Valley. You can explore the nearby Loch Tay to the west, which is known for water sports and fishing.

Spending a few days in Aberfeldy gives you the chance to experience a mix of natural beauty, history, and local culture. From scenic walks along the River Tay to exploring charming streets and local shops, the town offers a quiet yet engaging break from busy city life.

Notably, the town is connected to Scottish poet Robert Burns, who mentioned it in his works, giving it cultural significance. You can visit the Birks of Aberfeldy, a nearby woodland celebrated in his poem “The Birks of Aberfeldy.”
