Strathallan

Strathallan ward encompasses a rural expanse in central Perth and Kinross, stretching from the Braes of the Ochil Hills down to the fertile strath of the River Earn. Its landscape is characterised by mixed farmland, scattered woodlands, and several small villages, including Auchterarder and Blackford. The area's economy has long been connected to agriculture and local estate management.

The ward is traversed by the A9, a major transport artery linking Perth and the Highlands. A notable local feature is the Gleneagles Hotel, an internationally recognised resort set within its own extensive grounds. Community life is focused within the settlements, with traditional industries supplemented by tourism related to the golfing and sporting facilities in the area.
