Aberfeldy is nothing if not a small town. Its population is under two thousand and it is located in the somewhat rural county known of Perth and Kinross. With over one hundred towns and hamlets in the county, the population of all of Perth and Kinross is still under one hundred and fifty thousand. Don't let Aberfeldy's meager smattering of citizens throw you off, though. This town is beautiful, glorious, and wondrous for that very reason! If there were more people there would be less natural Aberfeldy land to gawk at and gawking is the main pastime in this incredibly beautiful town.
To be fair, nearly every corner of Scotland's untouched land is unbelievably gorgeous but Aberfeldy enjoys a particularly enjoyable landscape thanks to its placement on the River Tay. Also, don't think that just because the population of the town is small that Aberfeldy is in anyway backwards or overly rural. The town boasts the modern amenities seen in large cities and these include golf courses, schools, shops, gas stations, and all the good stuff that makes up modern life. In fact, Aberfeldy has an award-winning shopping district known as "The Square" and some of the most reputable and beloved shops in Scotland are located within this lovely marketplace. PandJ Haggarts, one of Scotland's premier clothing stores, can be found within The Square as can the famous bookstore known as The Watermill, the winner of the UK Independent Bookshop of the Year Award in 2009. One of the biggest attractions of Aberfeldy, though, is the proliferation of Scottish deer that can be seen all around the wilderness. The venison wrought from these deer is considered to be some of the tastiest in all of the United Kingdom and many of the fine restaurants and eateries in the area serve this deer in spades.
While plenty of people come to Aberfeldy for its great shopping, the fact remains that most of the tourism in town is due to the incredible scenery lying just outside of town. Aberfeldy itself is a bit of a natural wonder in that it rests within a valley that was carved from a massive glacier that has long since melted away. As such, one can see sweeping, rolling hillsides all about the marvelous landscape and this does quite a lot to further enhance the many photo opportunities spread throughout. A trip further out, though, will garner a tourist a real spectacle: The Grampian Moutains. These imposing crags lift up out of the earth to titanic heights and climbing these precarious cliffs allows for a nearly unreal view of the rest of Scotland. The peak of Creag Odhar is particularly ravishing, reaching seven hundred and eighty meters into the sky. For those that want a truly phenomenal view, though, the only choice is the twelve hundred and fourteen meter high Ben Lawers peak. Aberfeldy is home to some of the Scotland's finest natural sights and, as is plain to see, it is largely due to the fact that the town isn't large or crowded. Though it offers every amenity one could possibly wish for.
