Aberfeldy Tourist Information
Aberfeldy is a particularly handsome, small Scottish market town located at the heart of Scotland in Highland Perthshire witha population of around 2000. Wade's Bridge (its most memorable construction) was built in 1733 to the design of architect William Adam, father of the more famous Robert Adam. General Wade considered his bridge at Aberfeldy to be his greatest accomplishment. Next to the bridge you will also find the Black Watch memorial commemorating the raising of the world famous regiment. There is an 18 hole golf course and large public putting green. A new award winning children's play park opened in June 2007.Aberfeldy is also home to a variety of colourful shops, many of which are centred around The Square. There are also two independent bookshops, a garage, co-op supermarket, deli, coffee shops, fish and chip shop, Solicitors, Estate Agents, the famous highland outfitters P&J Haggarts, and many other speciality and traditional shops that reward the inquisitive. There are two art galleries. Aberfeldy is also very fortunate to have an excellent collection of restaurants and eateries to choose from - cuisine ranges from traditional take-away fish & chips, to Indian, Chinese, traditional Scottish, contemporary, French and continental. The area's deer farming activities ensure a plentiful supply of world-class venison for the local establishments.
In 2005 a new church centre for the Parish Church was opened in the former Breadalbane Church in Taybridge Road, serving the congregations which previously worshipped in the former St Andrew's Church in Crieff Road, the former Congregational church in the Square, and the former Free Church in Chapel Street. Mark Drane was inducted as the new COS Minister on 30 April 2007.
There is a newly built Catholic Church in the town in Home street. All churches welcome visitors.
The Aberfeldy Footbridge over the River Tay was the world's first bridge constructed entirely of composite materials. It connects two holes of a golf course on either side of the relatively wide, and deep, river.
Breadalbane Cricket Club, founded in 1869, play home matches at Victoria Park in Aberfeldy. The team are the Perthshire Cup Winners for 2007 and Strathmore Cricket Union Champions in 2006. The club now has a strong youth training programme available.
* Aberfeldy is situated in the Tay Valley on the upper reaches of the River Tay (around 300 feet asl). The River Tay begins up-valley from Aberfeldy at Loch Tay, and carries on south and east from Aberfeldy until it discharges at it's estuary east of Perth at the Firth of Tay. Lying in a U-shaped valley, the terrain in and around Aberfeldy is of gently undulating character with farming and agriculture bordering the town in the valley floor. However, areas further outside of Aberfeldy (particularly to the north and west) give way to the extensive Grampian Mountains, with scenic peaks such as Creag Odhar, Farragon (780m), Schiehallion (1083m), Ben Lawers (1214m) and Sron Mhor (m) punctuating the landscape. Ben Lawers is Scotland's 9th highest peak and is renowned for its wild flowers - there is nothing higher to its south.
It is possible to reach both Scotland's east and west coasts in a few hours from Aberfeldy, and the town is about an hour and a half from Edinburgh and two hours from Glasgow.
Glen Lyon, possibly Scotland's most stunning and least-visited valley, lies barely 8km from the outskirts of Aberfeldy. At the mouth of Glen Lyon lies the village of Fortingall, legendary reputed birth place of Pontius Pilate and home to the world-famous Fortingall Yew Tree - a tree reputed to be over 5,000 years old.
Aberfeldy lies at the intersection of two A roads - the A826 to Crieff and the A827, which leads east and south towards the main trunk road of the A9, and to Perth and points southwards. Aberfeldy is easily reached from southern locations via the A9, and then taking the Ballinluig exit and the A827 to get to the town. Owing to it's location off the A9 trunk road - Aberfeldy is less geared for tourists than it's close cousin town, Pitlochry. Some would consider this a definite plus.
The entrance to The Birks of Aberfeldy - a very well known gorge and scenic walk made famous by the poet Robert Burns - lies on the southern outskirts of Aberfeldy on the A826. The Birks is classified as a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), and contains many varieties of flora and fauna, some of which are protected.
