Aberfeldy is a small town built on the south side of the river Tay.
It has an industrial history that ranges from cotton milling dating back to 1799 through to laundry and machine tool businesses in more recent times.
Aberfeldy is home to Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery.The history of distilling in and around Aberfeldy dates back several centuries, and fits the pattern common across Scotland of informal (and illegal) distilling taking place anywhere the locals thought could be kept hidden from the excisemen. Changes in legislation in the first half of the nineteenth century made legal distilling more attractive, leading to fewer but usually more legitimate stills.
