About Abernethy

Abernethy is a small village on the south bank of the Tay, about 8 miles southeast of Perth, at the foot of the Ochil Hills.

The village is home to one of only two surviving Irish-style round towers in Scotland, a 74-foot structure dating from the early medieval period and a scheduled ancient monument.

Abernethy is quiet and primarily residential, with limited local services, but its combination of ancient history and attractive setting makes it one of the more distinctive small villages in Perthshire.

About Perth and Kinross

Perth and Kinross is a large council area in the heart of Scotland, stretching from the lowland farmland of Strathearn and the Carse of Gowrie in the south to the remote Cairngorm peaks and Highland glens of Atholl and Rannoch in the north.

Perth — the 'Fair City' — is the administrative centre and largest settlement, a compact and handsome city at the tidal limit of the River Tay that served as Scotland's capital in the medieval period and retains a civic confidence well beyond its size.

The area divides naturally into Highland and Lowland: south of the Highland Boundary Fault lie the fertile straths and market towns of Strathearn, Kinross-shire, and the Carse; north of it, the landscape rises steeply into the Grampians, with Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, and Blair Atholl strung along the great routes into the Highlands.

Kinross-shire, historically a separate county, sits in the south-east around Loch Leven — a nationally important nature reserve and the setting for one of Scotland's most dramatic episodes of royal captivity — and retains a distinct local identity within the wider council area.

Transport links converge on Perth, where the M90, A9, and main rail lines from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, and Inverness meet, making the city one of the best-connected in Scotland — though the more remote Highland communities depend on the A9 trunk road and its long-awaited dualling programme.
