Balado

Balado is a park and former airfield within the Perth and Kinross council area of Scotland.

Poultry sheds of Balado Poultry Farm now occupy the old concrete runways of the airfield. On the southern perimeter of the site is the Balado Bridge NATO Satellite Ground Station, which closed in 2006.

Until 2014 Balado was the home of the T in the Park music festival, however due to safety concerns about an oil pipeline lying directly underneath parts of the airfield the festival moved 20 miles to Strathallan castle and airfield.

There are around 4,000-5,000 people living nearby in Kinross and Milnathort.
