Auchterarder (/ɒxtərˈɑːrdər/ ⓘ; Scottish Gaelic: Uachdar Àrdair, meaning Upper Highland) is a town north of the Ochil Hills in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, and home to the Gleneagles Hotel. It is also once part of the historic county of Perthshire. The 1+1⁄2-mile-long (2.5-kilometre) High Street of Auchterarder gave the town its popular name of "The Lang Toun" or Long Town.
The modern town is a shopping destination with a variety of independent shops and cafes.
