Ashfield (Scottish Gaelic: Achadh an Uinnsinn) is a small village in the Registration county of Perth and the local government district of Stirling, Scotland. It lies between the Allan Water and the Stirling-Perth Railway line. It is two miles north of Dunblane,^[2] and was designated a conservation village in 1976. It was originally built to house workers at a nearby silk-dyeing mill.^[3]^[4] Prior to this, a mill, Millash or Mill of Ash, existed, as did an extensive house or farm.^[5] Ashfield has four residential streets (Ochilview, Allanview, The Steading and The Cottages), a residential block (The Clachan) and also a square, named after the former prime minister William Gladstone, called Gladstone Square.

There are various annual activities based in the village hall such as a Blues festival, a Food festival and a Music festival.
