Auchterarder in Perth and Kinross, Scotland is a compact market town often noted for its unusually long High Street - locally nicknamed the "Lang Toun" - and for sitting close to the famous Gleneagles hotel and golf complex. It lies near the main road and rail corridors serving Perth and the central belt, so it functions as both a local service centre and a gateway for visitors to the surrounding Perthshire countryside.
The town has roots as a market and religious centre and was central to the 19th‑century "Auchterarder case" that fed into the 1843 Disruption of the Church of Scotland. Today its economy blends agriculture, tourism tied to golf and country hotels, and a commuter population; a busy High Street of independent shops, cafés and services gives it a lively community feel despite its modest size.
