Blairgowrie Self Catering Cottages
Blairgowrie is a town in Perthshire, with many original stone houses, in a picturesque setting, surrounded by hills. The River Ericht flows briskly through it, dividing it from Rattray across the river. Blairgowrie is a fabulous place to stay to enjoy a self-catering holiday. The town has all essential amenities to make shopping convenient and for general interest. The A93 road runs from Blairgowrie to the Cairngorms National Park and the chance of mountain biking and lots of outdoor activities. Perth is just sixteen miles away and is another attractive city to visit for shopping and leisure.
During the warm summers, visitors, walk the paths and hills, fish, enjoy traditional Scottish fare, especially raspberries for which the area is famed, a dram at the local pub, and a chat with the locals. Bicycles can be hired to explore the country roads. Blue harebells and wild flowers adorn the grass verges, birds of prey soar silently across the skies, nearby woods teem with wildlife and woodland plants. There is a nature reserve at Loch of Lowes with a chance to see osprey and otters.
There are so many different things of interest to see and do. Scotland has a wealth of ancient stone circles - Meigle's collection of Pictish stones is just one example in this location. When exploring Scotland, you may just stumble across more. Solid granite castles can take you back through history - and several, including Glamis, are just a drive away.
Highland Games are held annually in Blairgowrie, generally on the first Sunday of September.
Sporty types may enjoy a round of golf, canoeing, mountain biking, hang-gliding, or one of the may outdoor pursuits organised in the area. The 60 mile length of the Cateran Trial, which starts in Blairgowrie, offers a walk through some of Scotland's best scenery.
