Errol is a compact village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, sited on the fertile low-lying plain of the Carse of Gowrie near the north bank of the Firth of Tay. It sits roughly between Perth and Dundee, giving it a rural feel while remaining convenient for commuters; the surrounding landscape is largely agricultural, with meadows and orchards that reflect the area's long farming traditions.
Historically the village grew around farming and small-scale industry, and it retains a strong local community with a village hall, church and primary school plus a scattering of small businesses and light industry where a wartime airfield once stood. Visitors and residents value its countryside walks and parkland, and its history is visible in traditional stone buildings and estate grounds that hint at a quieter, agricultural past.
