The Birks of Aberfeldy

Walk this circular 1.5-mile trail through wooded slopes overhung by birch trees, with a stop along the viewing platform that looks over deep chasms and Strathtay.

Just beautiful in Autumn. Take the right hand path of the circular walk it’s an easier gentle climb but worth every step for the sheer beauty of the falls

Karelia House, Scotland's premier craft destination, is set in stunning Highland Perthshire on the banks of the rivers Tay and Lyon. We are simply a crafter's paradise! We stock an abundance of yarns from merino to Tibetan Yak and lots more in between as well as a vast range of fabrics and batiks. Our coffee shop offers a warm welcome with comfortable seats around our woodburning stoves. Enjoy a coffee and homemade baking. Or why not stay for lunch and choose from delicious homemade soups or a selection of light lunches. We have outside seating with beautiful views of the Tay Valley and a play park for the children.

Keltneyburn Smithy Gallery

Family business creating metal sculpture & garden art from found objects, scrap parts and mild steel. Sculptures large & small mostly depicting the natural world, wildlife & local surroundings & often with an element of fun & a touch of humour, with a strong recycling ethos.

Reviewed By EdinburghMoose - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

We were met by a friendly smithy working hard who invited us to look around at our leisure. This couple is insanely talented and there are a variety of different sculptures to look at from wildlife like birds, deer and fish, pets like dogs and chickens, people like a bagpipe player and highland dancer, vehicles such as a motorbike, and word art. The art is VERY reasonably priced and there is something to suit all budgets, although there is no pressure at all to buy. The only downside is the place is a little small, but still a lot to look at and a good way to spend half an hour.

Excellent for photography, especially with family and friendscon a sunny day with good light. This bridge has surely been the backdrop to many pictures! Its worth taking the short walk from Aberfeldy centre.

Black Watch Monument

Reviewed By dundeetravellermrshc - Dundee, United Kingdom

Walked down to the river, and came across the Black Watch Memorial statue. Surrounded by beautiful views. Close to Victoria Park and Aberfeldy Golf Course. A few benches to sit on and admire the countryside. Worth a wee visit
