Introduction

The Gateway To The Cairngorms

Blairgowrie is one of the largest towns in Perthshire, sitting to the north of the city of Perth on the banks of the River Ericht. From its endless expanses of lush forest, to its beautiful, rolling green hills and fresh running rivers, it’s easy to see why Blairgowrie has a reputation as one of Perthshire’s best sources for outdoor adventure and locally grown farm-to-table food.

Enjoy the perfect visit to Blairgowrie with plenty of things to do, including family-friendly days out or adrenaline-fuelled outdoor activities. Known as the ‘Berry Toon’ Blairgowrie is the place to get freshly grown strawberries and raspberries in the many local farms and gardens across the town. Escape into this beautiful wilderness where awesome peaks like mount Blair and local hills like The Knockie can be scaled. Some of Scotland’s most iconic species can be observed in their natural environment, from majestic red deer stags to soaring ospreys, and of course, the wild beaver!
