Welcome to the Aberfeldy,
Loch Tay and Glen Lyon area of scenic Perthshire
in the very heart of Scotland. Ours is a land of superlatives: Perthshire's
highest mountain; Scotland's longest river; and Europe's oldest living thing.
Offering all the best of Scotland in a nutshell, there is something for all
ages and interests here whether you seek adventure, cultural stimulation, wildlife,
or well-being.
First made famous by Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, today Aberfeldy is
Scotland's first Fairtrade town and retailers and attractions
throughout the area do their best to promote Fairtrade, organic and environmentally
friendly products. Just six miles west of the town, Loch Tay is
the largest loch in Perthshire, framed by majestic mountains and hillside farms
and cottages.
As well as being the popular playground of sailors and watersports enthusiasts,
the loch is home to 18 ancient dwellings called crannogs. Nearby to the north, Glen Lyon is often described as the longest, loneliest, and
loveliest glen in Scotland, and has a wonderfully mystical atmosphere.
We hope you enjoy exploring the area. In fact, there is so much to do that
you'll need to return time and time again to experience the best of what we
offer. So, welcome, and welcome back!
