Blairgowrie
Blairgowrie and Rattray is a twin burgh in Perth as well as Kinross, Scotland. Locals describe the town as "Blair". Blairgowrie is the bigger of both former burghs which were united by an Act of Parliament in 1928 and lies on the southwest side of the River Ericht while Rattray gets on the northeast side. Rattray claims to be the older as well as certainly Old Rattray, the area round Rattray Kirk, dates back to the 12th century. New Rattray, the area along the Boat Brae and Balmoral Road dates from 1777 when the River was spanned by the Brig o' Blair. The town rests on the north side of Strathmore at the foot of the Grampian Mountains. The west boundary is created by the Knockie, a round verdant hill, as well as Craighall Gorge on the Ericht. Blairgowrie and Rattray developed over the centuries at the crossroads of numerous historic routes with links from the community to Perth, Coupar Angus, Alyth as well as Braemar. The roads to Coupar Angus and Braemar create part of General Wade's military road from Perth to Ft George. The town's centrepiece is the Wellmeadow, a verdant triangular in the middle of town which organizes routine markets as well as outside entertainment.
