πŸ“Œ Town in Perth & Kinross
β˜…β˜…

A bustling town on the upper reaches of the River Tay, Aberfeldy has many ingredients for a short countryside holiday destination. Many of the local attractions are water-related: this stretch of the Tay is well known for white-water rafting, while many neighbouring burns boast impressive waterfalls after heavy rain or snowmelt – the Birks of Aberfeldy is the closest example, championed by Robert Burns and reached on foot from the middle of town. Local spring water also helped kick-start Aberfeldy’s whisky distilling traditions, which continue just up the road at Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery. The very centre perhaps lacks an “X-factor” – not helped by the main road cutting diagonally across the town square by the attractive cinema – but the variety of surrounding sights are adequate compensation, with even more attractions across the 18th century Tay Bridge. Check out our full list below.

🚢 The town centre is small and the Birks of Aberfeldy walk begins nearby. There are quite a few other sights within walking distance, but they tend to involve dull schleps along roads.

🚌 Aberfeldy is at the end of a bus route from Perth via Dunkeld, and there are a few infrequent local buses.
