Dunskiag Long Barn, Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland
Aberfeldy is situated in Highland Perthshire, in the Tay Valley on the upper reaches of Scotland's longest river, the River Tay. Lying in a u-shaped valley common to Scotland's glaciated landscape, the terrain in and around Aberfeldy is gently undulating. Farming and agriculture dominate in the valley's floor but areas further outside of the town give way to the impressive Grampian Mountains. Scenic peaks, including Schiehallion and Ben Lawers punctuate the landscape.
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.
There are so many things to do in the local area that it is difficult to know where to begin. There is something for everyone (and their children and grandparents!). For those who wish to be active there is rafting, canoeing, sailing, watersports, quad biking, kayaking, canyoning, hill walking, Munro bagging, low level walks, 4x4 off road driving, fishing, mountain biking, 4x4 mountain safaris and many more exciting activities. For those wishing to relax a little more you can be pointed to gentle walks, local art galleries, craft shops and coffee shops or in the evenings there is a good choice of local restaurants. The Birnam Institute and Pitlochry Festival both provide superb theatre and music options. Being in the Heart of Scotland we are perfectly placed for exploring further afield with many visitor attractions a short drive from Aberfeldy.
