Aberfeldy is situated in the very heart of scenic Perthshire in Scotland. This small town with a population of under 2000 residents has 2 prestigious claims to fame. Firstly, it has the first bridge in the world constructed entirely from composite materials. Secondly it was jointly awarded Fairtrade status along with Strathaven in November 2002, becoming Scotland’s first Fairtrade town.

Fairtrade strives to help disadvantaged producers in the third world get a fair deal. Producers receive a minimum price for their goods to cover costs and ensure sustainable production for the future. A further payment for investment in local social and economic projects is also received. Retailers in the area strive to promote this worthy cause along with other organic and environmentally friendly products wherever possible.

Visitors to the town will find Perthshire’s highest mountain and Scotland’s longest river on their doorstep. Six miles west of the town is Lock Tay, the largest Loch in Perthshire and a haven for water sports enthusiasts. The Loch is unusually long and is believed to be the narrowest glen in all of Scotland.

Glen Lyon is situated to the North of the town, majestically presiding over 18 ancient dwellings called crannogs. As night falls they bring an eerie, almost mystical quality to the Glen.

The town has a variety or shops which cater to a multitude of tastes. There’s a deli, a coffee shop and numerous independent book shops and highland outfitters. These colourful shops bring vibrancy to this quant town.
