Aberfeldy, a market town in rural Perthshire, sits on the River Tay amidst stunning landscape. Aberfeldy is famous for its relationship with Robert Burns and his poem The Birks Of Aberfeldy, as well as the bridge built for General Wade in 1733. It is located close south of Valley Lyon, which is considered as Scotland’s longest, loneliest, and loveliest glen. Aside from the breathtaking environment, there is much else to entice visitors. For pedestrians and bikers, there is a 10-mile riverside walk, as well as other trails through woodland and countryside. Aberfeldy is also on the Rob Roy Way and Cycle Route 7. The River Tay’s whitewater rafting is a fantastic way to take in the surroundings. Castle Menzies is a magnificent 16th century castle that has been extensively renovated and is now open to the public. On the outskirts of town, take a distillery tour at Dewar’s World of Whisky. Explore the town’s various bars, restaurants, and cafes, as well as the galleries and craft shops, including the Scottish Chocolate Centre. The Scottish Crannog Centre provides a view into Iron Age life, while Loch Tay provides a variety of watersports. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are also nearby. Within an hour’s drive, there are 30 Munros just waiting to be ‘bagged’!
