Community
“Such a friendly community-oriented village. I’m born and bred and love Alyth.”
“Welcoming, community-minded, historic, with enough innovative and creative people with ‘can-do’ attitudes to make me feel we can find a way through the turbulent times we face and come out the other side stronger, more resilient.”
Locality and Connectivity
“Its proximity to the countryside for walking.”
“It’s within commuting distance of Dundee and Perth, and has Blairgowrie nearby for bigger shops and high school – connected by regular bus.”
“Alyth is a quiet location with good access to rural and woodland areas.”
Local Economy
“It has all the essential amenities – shop, post office, cash machine, cafes, pubs, doctors, pharmacy, primary school, Chippy!”
“I like the selection of shops and the friendly, caring people.”
Appearance
“The town is surrounded by attractive countryside and particular scenic areas such as the Alyth Den and Hill of Alyth.”
