Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BLAIRGOWRIE , -a police
burgh
  of Perthshire,
Scotland
 , situated on the Ericht. Pop. (Igor) 3378. It is the terminus of a branch line of the Caledonian railway from Coupar
Angus
 , from which it is 4i M. distant, and is 16 m. N. by E. of
Perth
  by road. The town is entirely modern, and owes its progress to the water-power supplied by the Ericht for linen and jute factories. There are also sawmills, breweries and a large factory for bee appliances. Strawberries, raspberries and ' other fruits are largely grown in the neighbourhood. A park was presented to the town in 1892. On the left hank of the Ericht, opposite Blairgowrie, with which it is connected by a four-arched
bridge
 ,, stands the town and police
burgh
  of Rattray (pop. 2019), where there are flax and jute mills. Donald Cargill the Covenanter, who was executed at Edinburgh, was a native of the parish. Four miles west of Blairgowrie, on the coach road to Dunkeld, lies Loch Clunie, of some
interest
  historically. On a crannog in the lake are the ruins of a small castle which belonged to James (" the Admirable ")
Crichton
 , and the large mound near the loch was the site of the castle in which
Edward
  I. lodged on one of his Scottish expeditions.
