The ward of Almond and Earn sits on the fringe of Perth in central Scotland, taking its name from the River Almond and the River Earn that thread the landscape. It covers a patchwork of villages, farmland and small commuter settlements set within rolling Perthshire countryside, where agriculture, forestry and small local businesses remain important alongside residents who travel into the city for work.
Historically the area features traditional parish churches, old stone bridges and pockets of local heritage, and social life often revolves around village halls and community groups. The ward returns multiple councillors to Perth and Kinross Council under the single transferable vote system, reflecting a mix of long‑standing rural communities and newer commuters with local issues often focusing on housing, transport and rural services.
