Aberfeldy is a small Highland Perthshire town on the River Tay, reached by the A827 from the A9 at Ballinluig or over the hill from Crieff on the A826. There is no large industry here. Work for a sweeper comes from the things that keep the upper Tay valley running: forestry, estates and farms, hydro and power line maintenance, a distillery and a strong visitor trade.
Timber lorries and estate vehicles bring mud onto single-carriageway roads that also carry coaches and holiday traffic, so landowners and hauliers are asked to tidy up after harvesting. Road repairs after hard winters, small housing schemes, and car parks at visitor attractions and holiday parks towards Kenmore and Loch Tay provide the remaining, mostly seasonal, jobs.
Coverage around Aberfeldy and upper Tayside
Weem, Grandtully, Strathtay, Kenmore, Fortingall and Acharn can be covered along with Aberfeldy itself. This is a remote area in sweeper terms: vehicles generally travel from Perth or beyond, travel is part of the cost, and a full-shift booking arranged well in advance is the realistic way to get work done.
