First
made famous by Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, today Aberfeldy
is Scotland's first Fairtrade town and retailers and attractions throughout
the area do their best to promote Fairtrade, organic and environmentally
friendly products. 
As
well as being the popular playground of sailors and watersports enthusiasts,
the loch is home to 18 ancient dwellings called crannogs. Nearby to the
north, Glen Lyon is often described as the longest, loneliest, and loveliest
glen in Scotland, and has a wonderfully mystical atmosphere.

Follow
the burn down to Taybridge Terrace where you turn left alongside the wide
riverside lawns and play areas of Victoria Park. The park underwent a
major refurbishment during 2007 to provide new children’s play equipment.After
passing the first hole of Aberfeldy Golf Course, you’ll see ahead
of you the imposing Black Watch Memorial erected to commemorate the first
ever muster of this famous Scottish regiment in 1740. Beside it, the elegant
Wade’s Bridge crosses the Tay. When this was built in 1733 there
was no town in existence. So you really are at the point where modern-day
Aberfeldy started.The Birks are woodland gorges of waterfalls and rapids
on the Moness Burn. Their name derives from a Scottish term for birch
trees and they were first made famous by Robert Burns, our national bard,
who wrote a well-known poem about them in 1787:“The braes ascend
like lofty wa’s,The foaming stream deep-roaring fa’s,O’erhung
wi’ fragrant spreading shaws.The Birks of Aberfeldy.”Burns
would still recognise the Birks today although he may find the network
of footpaths and bridges easier to traverse. The paths climb for almost
two miles up to the Falls of Moness, giving wonderful views. The left
bank of the burn offers a more rugged climb with an easier route on the
right bank.The Birks can be accessed by a footpath from Aberfeldy town
centre at Bridgend or from a large car park signed off Crieff Road just
after Moness Country Club. Beautiful all year round, the waterfalls are
at their most spectacular after heavy rain or when the autumn colours
are on the trees.
