Strathmore is a largely rural ward in eastern Perth and Kinross, Scotland, sitting in part of the broad agricultural valley that gives it its name. The landscape is dominated by rolling arable fields and mixed livestock farms, with the lowland plain framed by the Sidlaw Hills to the north and the foothills of the Grampian Mountains to the south; settlements tend to be small villages and market towns that act as local service hubs.
Its character is shaped by long-standing farming traditions, scattered historic buildings and growing interest in rural tourism and food provenance, while many residents commute to larger centres for work. As an electoral ward it sends councillors to Perth and Kinross Council under Scotland’s proportional voting system, and local debates commonly centre on rural services, transport, housing and land use.
