LOCAL AREA
Sitting almost exactly in the centre of Scotland Aberfeldy, Loch Tay and Glen Lyon is a picture postcard area of superlatives and surprises just waiting to be explored.
Aberfeldy is situated on Scotland's longest river, the River Tay in highland Perthshire. It grew up around Wade's Bridge, the first bridge built across the Upper River Tay in 1733 by the English general who subjugated the highlands after Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebellion in 1745. Famous for the 'Birks of Aberfeldy', a poem by Robert Burns in memory of the beautiful Falls of Moness, it’s one of Scotland's best-known holiday towns.
And for those seeking memorable area visits, apart from
our great distilleries and local castles, here are some more
great suggestions for things to do in Perthshire -
Nearby Fortingall, a village where legend has it Pontious Pilate, who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, was born. Fortingall is also home to the Fortingall Yew, a tree between 3,000 - 5,000 years old that is believed to be the oldest living thing in Europe.
At the Scottish Crannog Centre, find living history from discoveries underwater at Scotland's only authentic recreation of a Celtic loch-dwelling. Artefacts, wet-tanks, video, ancient crafts, friendly staff and personal attention bring the past to life.
A visit to nearby Crieff via the Sma Glen. Set amidst magnificent scenery, Crieff is a bustling country town offering a fantastic range of popular visitor attractions and outdoor pursuits.
