Why an in catchment listing can still miss
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. Perth and Kinross Council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

The full local guide covers schools, transport and the market in detail: Comrie property and area guide.
| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | Comrie Primary School, parks, scenery and a strong community, but the secondary catchment is Crieff High School (Strathearn Community Campus) rather than in the village, so check catchment and transport, note the firm prices, and factor in the distance to a full A&E. |
| Retirees & downsizers | ★★★★★ | A walkable, characterful village with good shops, cafes, the White Church, bowling and golf, and a strong community, long a favourite for a scenic Strathearn retirement, though there is no railway station and the nearest full A&E is a drive away in Perth via Crieff. |
| Outdoor & nature lovers | ★★★★★ | Glen Lednock, the Deil's Cauldron, the Melville Monument, the rivers Earn, Ruchill and Lednock, and the Highland hills and Loch Earn beyond are all on the doorstep, superb walking, cycling and fishing where the Highlands begin. |
| Commuters | ★★★☆☆ | There is no railway station, so commuting means driving, Crieff is about 7 miles, Perth about 24 miles via the A85, and Gleneagles station about 13 miles for the train; workable for hybrid patterns but a car is essential. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★☆☆ | Flats and smaller stone cottages are the more accessible ways in, and LBTT relief helps up to £175,000, but Comrie is a firm, scenery-driven village market with limited stock, budget accordingly. |
