Blairgowrie sits on the banks of the River Ericht and is often referred to as the Berry Town.  The climate is ideal for soft fruits in particular the raspberry. There are a variety of shops, from the large retailer to small independent shops, and many hotels and restaurants to sample Scottish fayre.
