(Above image is a capture of the centre of Aberfeldy.) Aberfeldy is a popular village on the banks of the River Tay in Perthshire, central Scotland, about seventy-five miles north of Edinburgh. Population is about 2000 persons and the name indicates the antiquity of the site as it is actually of Brittonic (Welsh) origin, inspired by the name of local water-sprite and probably pre-dates the Gaelic speaking Scots who arrived around the 6th century AD.
