Blairgowrie Cottages
The small market town of Blairgowrie is renowned for a number of
things: berries, salmon fishing, golf, the Cateran Trail, a
selection of Blairgowrie holiday cottages and the warmest
hospitality. It's also an ideal base from which to discover the
Southern Highlands, as well as East and Central Scotland.
First - the berries - one of Blairgowrie's nicknames is
'Berry Capital of the World' and, if you time your stay
right, you'll find field after field of ripe, juicy fruits
surrounding the town, with dozens of 'pick your own' signs
and local farm shops showcasing mouth-watering fruit displays.
Next, sporting pastimes - Blairgowrie nestles alongside the
River Ericht, a key tributary of the Tay, world famous for its
salmon. No wonder enthusiasts flock here. The local angling
association offers a decent stretch of river to visitors and the
best time to come is in spring. The town's well-stocked tackle
shops cater for every need.
From riverbank to fairway, Blairgowrie is home to one of
Scotland's best inland golf clubs, offering three courses with
45 holes of play! Day visitors are warmly welcomed, but do book in
advance.
Enjoy walking? Magnificent scenery is on the doorstep and
there's an excellent choice of way-marked paths. The highlight
is the 64-mile circular Cateran Trail, which starts in Blairgowrie
and traces the footsteps of yesteryear's cattle rustlers along
ancient drove routes.
Following a day's adventure, home-cooked fare washed down
with a wee dram and traditional Ceilidh music await, not forgetting
your Blairgowrie cottage for a good night's sleep.
