Strathtay is a predominantly rural ward in Perth and Kinross, sitting in the scenic heart of Highland Perthshire along the valley of the River Tay. The area is characterised by steep glens, mixed woodlands and river corridors that attract anglers, walkers and cyclists; its landscape of estates, hill tracks and lochs gives it a strongly outdoors-orientated, tourist-friendly character.
Local life mixes traditional hill and arable farming, forestry and small-scale tourism with village communities and historic country houses; you’ll find seasonal visitors and an active network of community groups alongside long-established estate culture. The ward’s challenges and priorities tend to reflect its rural character - maintaining transport and broadband links, supporting local businesses and balancing conservation with visitor economies.
