Blairgowrie is very friendly small Scottish town. It has a good range of independent local shops and national supermarket chains, and there is an excellent choice of cafes, pubs, restaurants and country inns when you decide to eat out. The surrounding countryside (rolling farmlands, quiet roads, woods & forests, loch & rivers, hills & mountains) provides a remarkably varied destination for walkers and cyclists; Blairgowrie Golf Club (45-holes) is recognised as home to two of Scotland’s finest inland courses (Rosemount & Lansdowne); the rivers Ericht & Isla are highly-regarded trout and salmon rivers; and Glenshee, just 45 minutes away, is the UK’s largest ski resort.
