**Strath Fillan** (Scottish Gaelic: *Na Sraithibh*) is a [strath](/source/Strath) in west [Perthshire](/source/Perthshire) named after an 8th-century Irish hermit monk, later [canonised](/source/Canonization) as [Saint Fillan](/source/Saint_Fillan). Located in the region was once [Strath Fillan Priory](/source/Strath_Fillan_Priory), an early 14th century foundation, later destroyed by the Campbells in the name of [Calvinism](/source/Calvinism).

The Strath stretches from [Bridge of Orchy](/source/Bridge_of_Orchy) () to [Crianlarich](/source/Crianlarich) (), a distance of 11 miles (18 km),[1] and has long been a major route through the highlands; the [A82 road](/source/A82_road), the [West Highland Line](/source/West_Highland_Line), and the [West Highland Way](/source/West_Highland_Way) long-distance footpath all follow the strath.

The Strathfillan Community [Development Trust](/source/Development_trust) was formed in 1997. It provides low cost rental housing for local residents and manages amenity woodland.
