Aspiring to be Scotland's Healthiest Town
Aberfeldy
Our Vision and Story
The Vision
We have learned from the worlds healthiest people on how to feel well and live longer. Harnessing the power of our local community to improve the health and wellbeing of our 'wee' town we dream of improved physical health and wellbeing, and of Aberfeldy becoming Scotland's healthiest town.
Our Story
We are inspired by stories from the world’s healthiest communities (‘Blue Zones’), and we want to share the knowledge and lessons learned to benefit our community. We work and live in this community and we understand the challenges people face finding the right path to good health, and working through an avalanche of conflicting advice. Here we share the scientific evidence base for enjoying life for longer.
