Aberfeldy is a market town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, on the River Tay. It lies in Highland Perthshire and it had 1895 inhabitants in the 2001 census. It is home to Perthshire's highest mountain and Scotland's longest river, Glen Lyon.
The poet Robert Burns mentions Aberfeldy in his poem 'The Birks of Aberfeldy'. It is also mentioned in the old Loch Tay Boat Song. Aberfeldy is known for Wade's Bridge, built in 1773. General Wade considered the bridge to be his biggest accomplishment.
The town is the first Fairtrade Town in Scotland, and won this status in 2002. This means that its retailers and attractions promote Fairtrade, organic and environmentally friendly products.
Aberfeldy has a cinema, The Birks Cinema, which was built in 1939 in a late Art Deco style. It closed in the 1980s, but in 2009 the charity Friends of the Birks bought it with a government grant. It reopened after full refurbishment in 2013 and the actor Alan Cumming, who was born in the town, is patron.
JK Rowling bought Killiechassie House, near to Aberfeldy and along the River Tay, in 2001.
