Local area guide
Skip hire in Aberfeldy
Aberfeldy is a small town in Highland Perthshire, sitting on the River Tay where the Urlar Burn joins it, around 10 miles west of Dunkeld, with a population of around 2,000. It grew as a market and crossing point for the Tay, and takes its name from the burn — the "mouth of Peallaidh", a water spirit of local legend. The town's modern form dates largely from the nineteenth century, when the Marquess of Breadalbane's estate improvements and the arrival of the railway in 1865 brought Victorian visitors to what was already becoming a fashionable stretch of Highland scenery.
The town's defining structure is Wade's Bridge, built in 1733 by General George Wade as part of the military road network laid across the Highlands after the 1715 Jacobite rising. Designed by William Adam, it is the grandest of Wade's bridges, with five arches and four obelisks, and it remains in use. Beside it stands the Black Watch Monument, marking the spot where the regiment was first mustered in 1740. The Birks of Aberfeldy, a wooded gorge of waterfalls above the town, was immortalised by Robert Burns in 1787 after a visit, and the circular walk through it remains the town's best-known attraction.
Aberfeldy sits at the heart of a landscape of lochs, glens and estates. Loch Tay lies a few miles west, with the Scottish Crannog Centre interpreting Iron Age loch dwellings on its shore, and Castle Menzies, a restored sixteenth-century Z-plan tower house, stands across the river at Weem. Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery, founded in 1898, sits on the edge of town and is a significant visitor attraction, and the town has a strong reputation for outdoor pursuits — rafting and canoeing on the Tay, walking in the surrounding hills, and access to Schiehallion, one of Scotland's most distinctive peaks, a short drive north.
The town sits on the A827, linking east to the A9 at Ballinluig and west along Loch Tay to Killin. Aberfeldy lost its railway branch in 1965, so Pitlochry and Dunkeld are the nearest stations on the Highland Main Line, with Perth around 35 minutes away by road and Edinburgh and Glasgow both under two hours. Surrounding settlements include Weem, Kenmore, Fortingall, Dull, Grandtully and Strathtay.
Property in Aberfeldy is largely traditional, with stone Victorian villas and terraces around the Square, Bank Street and Taybridge Road, older cottages in the lanes, and interwar, post-war and modern housing on the edges of town. Much of the centre is a conservation area with a substantial number of listed buildings. The surrounding glens have a stock of stone farmhouses, estate cottages and converted steadings, and the wider area supports a very high proportion of holiday lets and second homes, with tourism, the distillery and estate work forming the backbone of the local economy.
