Aberfeldy is a fairly standard grey brick & stone town .

The village has one of Scotland's two surviving Irish-style round towers (the other is at Brechin Angus); both are in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. The tower stands 74 ft (23 m) high, and it is possible to climb to the top, using a modern metal spiral staircase (the tower originally had several wooden floors linked by ladders). The tower was evidently built in two stages (shown by a change in the masonry), and probably dates from the 11th to early 12th centuries.

The main street has some quaint and quirky shops.
