Top Aberfeldy Outdoor Activities

Discover Aberfeldy, a charming Highland market town with rich ties to whisky, military history, and poet Robert Burns, on a two-and-a-half-hour walking tour. Starting at the Co-op car park, you’ll explore scenic streets, the River Tay, and iconic landmarks like Wade’s Bridge and Moness Falls. Highlights include the Art Deco Birks Cinema, the world’s longest plastic footbridge, the historic Watermill-turned-bookshop, and the Black Watch Memorial. Walk the famous Birks path where Burns found inspiration, visit Aberfeldy Golf Club, and spot signs of Scotland’s beaver reintroduction. This tour blends natural beauty, cultural heritage, and fascinating stories in a town that bridges the Highlands and Lowlands.

Get a taste of rural life in the Tay Valley. This small-group farm tour is ideal for families with young children and offers the opportunity to learn about the farm's "slow food" ethos and meet and feed farm animals including large black pigs, ducks, Highland ponies, Shetland cattle, and rare-breed sheep. Fresh farm produce can be purchased at the on-site deli.

If you are relatively new to the sport of canyoning, this half-day excursion from Aberfeldy will have you feeling confident in no time. Head to nearby Keltneyburn with your guide and, under their close supervision, try gorge walking, jumping off rocky cliffs, scrambling along rivers, and sliding down river chutes, and swimming in naturally beautiful surroundings—as much or as little as you want. Includes wet suits and all safety equipment.
