    1. [PERTH] Re: [tay-valley-bridges] Blairgowrie business query
    2. i think the book old Blairgowrie and rattray in pictures has views of High Street. The little book is still available but I would be happy to scan or copy anything for you. I love the little village and visiting during berry season makes my mouth water even now! there is a family history center in the library that can tell you more. I am sure they know of more town history and living rellies. hope this helps, mary in Oregon by Maurice Fleming ISBN 1 84033 008 2 partial list blairgowrie cottage hospital high street looking east, news agent j.s. stewart john fleming junior, the cross (high street and Allan street crosses) grocer P.J.
