Blairgowrie Area
Situated
in the heart of
beautiful Perthshire, Blaigowrie is on the historic route North
from Perth to the highlands and the North East. A
rural town of approx 7000 population today, with all of the shopping
and amenities expected of a town of this size, Blairgowrie developed on
the banks of the river Ericht through farming
and the numerous mills which once worked along the river side.
Today the mills have gone and Blairgowrie is a thriving and
busy
rural town with a strong retail base and popular with tourists of all
types. For more information on the area and the many
