Blairgowrie attractions |
|
 The red stone towns
of Blairgowrie and its sister Rattray lie on either side of the
River Ericht where it emerges from spectacular gorges in Strathmore.
Blairgowrie was connected to Rattray by a bridge in around 1725.
This original bridge was washed away in the 1840s, but quickly
replaced with another. The bridge linking the two parts of the
community today has been considerably expanded to cope with the
traffic now making use of it. Blairgowrie is now the centre of
the Scottish soft fruit industry, the raspberry industry in particula |
