Blairgowrie
Blairgowrie, “Blair” as it’s called locally, is a relaxed and friendly town.
It boomed on the back of the 19th century textile industry when there were fourteen mills lining the river Ericht on the edge of town. More recently, Blair has become the warm heart of Europe’s soft fruit industry and you can sample the local produce at its farm shops, pubs, cafes, country inns and award-winning restaurants.
As the largest town in the mainly rural county of Perthshire, Blairgowrie is big enough to offer a choice of national supermarket chains, but small enough for quality independent local shops (well-established, local butchers, bakers and, even, kilt-makers) to survive and prosper – so shopping is a holiday pleasure rather than a routine chore.
There’s plenty to keep you busy in and around Blair - interesting walking and cycling in and around the town – by the Ericht and in the Bluebell Woods; two of the best inland golf courses in the country; and some of the best trout and salmon fishing in Europe. Glenshee, the UK’s largest ski resort, is just 18 miles away.
And there’s a busy programme of events, too, which includes regular street markets as well annual highland games, walking and literary festivals
Blairgowrie is also an excellent central base for touring: it’s less than half an hour’s drive from Perth & Dundee, whilst St Andrews, Pitlochry & Braemar are all within an hour.
But once you’ve arrived you may not want to travel further – there’s a change of air and a change of pace here that many find addictive and, once experienced, hard to leave behind.

North East Perthshire
Blair is the ideal base from which to explore the small towns and villages, rolling farmlands and mountain scenery of North East Perthshire.
Nearby Alyth is a picturesque farming town criss-crossed by streams & little footbridges; Meigle’s old village schoolhouse displays one of the most important collections of Pictish-carved stones in Scotland; and pretty red sandstone Kirriemuir, the home of JM Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, sits nearby fairytale Glamis Castle.
The dramatic mountain scenery and glorious heather moors of Glenshee and the highland glens of Strahardle and Glen Isla provide great walking, fishing and wonderful wildlife photography and birdwatching. You may hear the red deer stags roaring if you walk The Cateran Trail in autumn. And spy osprey at the Loch of the Lowes if you visit in the summertime. And, all year round, you’ll have chances to spot golden eagle, buzzards, hen harriers, peregrine and merlin in the ever-changing skies and pine martens, red squirrel, beaver, otters and wildcats in the woodlands, burns and moors.

Just a short drive from Blairgowrie, the Fair City of Perth is a city of parks and gardens that regularly wins Britain in Bloom awards.
Its narrow vennels conceal and cosset a host of small speciality shops and galleries and some of the finest restaurants in Scotland. And with its museums, theatre, concert hall, it’s easy to see why Perth is bidding to become the UK City of Culture in 2021.
