Aberfeldy Gallery

The gallery sits right in Aberfeldy's town centre, and it's the sort of place that rewards a proper look around rather than a quick five-minute browse. Local and Scottish artists dominate the walls - paintings, prints, sculpture, the lot - and the space itself has that unpretentious feel you get when a gallery isn't trying too hard to impress you with its own importance.

What you're looking at depends entirely on what's on rotation, which is the nature of these places. Some exhibitions will grab you immediately; others might not. The staff tend to know their stuff and won't bore you with waffle if you ask questions. It's free to walk in, which is always a bonus, though they'll appreciate a purchase or a donation if something speaks to you.

If you're camped at Pitilie Pods or Glengoulandie - both genuinely excellent sites - you've got a straightforward drive into town. Spend an hour here, then grab lunch and wander Aberfeldy's high street. It's not a destination in itself, but as part of a Perthshire loop it works perfectly. Families with bored teenagers might find it a bit slow, but anyone who actually enjoys looking at art won't feel short-changed. The proximity to Grandtully Station Campsite makes it a logical stop if you're doing the Tay Valley circuit.
