Fertile pastures and wooded hills surround Aberfeldy and the
Fertile pastures and wooded hills surround Aberfeldy and the "Wade Bridge" over the River Tay, Perthshire and Kinross, Scotland.

Poem.

A gentler, more colourful Highlands is Perthshire.
Glistening "ribbon" lochs run west to east,
some large, some small.
Verdant pastures for sheep and cattle, and golden arable fields
make a striking patchwork, between the peaks.
High Munros of beige and purple with the subtle tones and textures
of lower slopes, resplendent with mostly
mature Deciduous woodland.
Meandering, surging and vibrant rivers
flow from the famous lochs of Rannoch, Tummel, Tay and Earn, in Straths, as opposed to glens,
being wider, sometimes less steep,
but all farmed on the rich, water-deposited alluvium.
Rapids, cataracts and waterfalls are common,
as Salmon leap back to their spawning grounds.
Rural villages, like Aberfeldy, cradled in these valleys,
have dwellings and bridges made of Granite,
seemingly everlasting.
Legends, poetry and song have immortalised
these timeless hills and valleys.
It is their glorious diversity of colour
that lingers long in our memory.
