Map of the UK

Aberfeldy is a compact market town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, sitting on the banks of the River Tay at the edge of Highland Perthshire. It’s a handy gateway to surrounding glens and hills, with the wooded gorge known as the Birks of Aberfeldy - immortalised by Robert Burns - providing short walks and waterfalls, while broader landscapes attract hillwalkers, anglers and mountain bikers.

Historically a service and market centre for the Breadalbane area, Aberfeldy retains a mix of traditional shops, crafts and hospitality and benefits economically from whisky tourism, being home to a long‑established distillery producing the town’s single malt. The town has a strong community feel, with local events, arts activity and outdoor pursuits shaping everyday life more than large industry.
