Blairgowrie and Rattray is a burgh in Perth and Kinross. Amongst locals, the town is colloquially known simply as "Blair". The second largest town in Perth & Kinross, this twin burgh lies in the Strathmore valley and straddles the River Ericht, which flows into the River Isla and onto the River Tay. Rattray is on the east bank and Blairgowrie is on the west.
Much of the expanding population works in the nearby cities of Dundee or Perth. Soft fruits such as raspberries and strawberries are grown locally. Blairgowrie High School provides secondary education for the surrounding area. Blairgowrie Golf Club has two 18-hole courses, and the Glenshee ski centre is eighteen miles north of the town.
