Looking south-west.

A notice over the door identifies this as the Breadalbane Lodge.

This building in Appin Place, Aberfeldy was probably once a warehouse or barn, as it has only one chimney. It would appear to be undergoing restoration and possibly conversion into housing.

Located in Dunkeld Street. Haggarts of Aberfeldy have been producing traditionally woven Scottish tweeds since 1801.

Dated 1899. Tall 3-storey, 3-bay, rectangular-plan Baronial shop and tenement with single storey wing to rear, on prominent corner site. Red bull-faced rubble and chlorite-slate rubble with red bull-faced dressings. Base course, ground floor cornice, continuous stepped hoodmould to 1st floor and mutuled eaves cornice. Crowstepped gables; channelled dividing piers and pilasters; hoodmoulds; raked cills; timber mullions. By 1880 the Breadalbane Woollen Mills had been taken over by Messrs P & J Haggart of Keltneyburn Woollen Mills, founded 1801. Some ten years later Haggarts had moved their entire business to Aberfeldy having purchased both the 'Dyer's Mill' (now the 'Tweed Mill', listed separately) and a second mill sited where 'Tayside Cottages' now stand. At that time patrons included Queen Alexandra and King Edward, and latterly the Queen Mother whose arms are still displayed over the shop doorway today (2001). Haggarts showroom in Bank Street was closed with the move to Dunkeld Street in 1899. Although Haggarts passed into new ownership during the 1970s, the company retained its name and still manufactures its own tweed, continuing to attract custom from Highland estates and across the world. Grade B listed. Listing number LB48850.

Originally a hotel opposite the railway station.

Built 1899 a Category B listed building on Dunkeld Street. Now a cafe, restaurant, grill but formerly the shop to Haggart's (established 1801). Haggart's has now moved two doors up. Haggart's tweed is considered to be one of the best sporting and estate tweeds. It is made from wool yarn from Cheviot sheep and has a high oil content. This oil gives it unique properties of warmth and is repellent to water. The tweed designs represent the character and colours of Scotland as many of the colours had to act as camouflage to a particular estate or area. The tweeds Haggart's uses are all still woven in Scotland and many in Aberfeldy itself.
