Blairgowrie and Beyond

31st Aug, 2023

Situated in the sought-after Rosemount area - with its tree-lined streets, quiet neighbouring suburbs and ideal location just south of Blairgowrie town centre - Hazelwood is a forward-thinking development that offers contemporary, stylish living in the splendour and greenery of historic Perth and Kinross.

With the River Ericht flowing between its two burghs, Blairgowrie and Rattray is one of the largest settlements in Perthshire - just a short drive from Perth, Dundee, Forfar and the Angus Glens; and roughly equidistant between the Cairngorms and the Firth of Tay.

Northerly roads from Perth to Inverness (A9) and Aberdeen (A90) connect Blairgowrie to the Highlands, making it a perfect place to call home for those who love the wilds of Scotland's north but want to stay connected to the central belt.

Its close historic connection to the Scottish textile industry is evident in the town's traditional architecture and regular market days, but Blairgowrie's modern-day reputation as a hub for soft fruit growing is what makes it stand out - its annual harvest season offering up freshly grown Scottish strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blackberries, bluebarries and more.

In a place that appreciates craft, history and the fruits of the land, Hazelwood is a place for 21st century lifestyles that complement this tradition and heritage.

Scotland's Great Outdoors

Blairgowrie is a perfect starting point on the Cateran Trail - one of Scotland's great walking trails, offering a fully waymarked 64 mile route that leads north to Spittal of Glenshee before veering south and round towards Blairgowrie again via Dalnaglar Castle, Kirkton of Glenisla, Alyth and Bridge of Cally, among other places of interest.

It is also the gateway to Glenshee, a renowned resort that plays host to year-round sporting pursuits - including skiing, golf, mountain biking, abseiling, hang gliding and paragliding.

Foodies Welcome

Countless jams, desserts, smoothies and cocktails have come from Blairgowrie berries, and market days in the town centre are a good place to pick up all manner of fresh produce from the region and beyond.

Meanwhile, just 22 minutes drive away, the picturesque town of Dunkeld - home of the forest that inspired William Shakespeare's Macbeth - is a haven for those who love food and drink, with local delicatessens, bakeries and a renowned whisky shop all open for business. A popular spot with tourists but a peaceful and rewarding place to spend time all year round.

Historic Sites & Cultural Gems

Perthshire's cultural scene is a real hidden gem, and two great places to start are the impressive Perth Museum and Art Gallery and The Fergusson Gallery, home to the collection of influential Scottish artist J D Fergusson, History buffs will appreciate the iconic Black Watch Castle and Museum and Scone Palace, both a short drive from Hazelwood.

Outdoor Pursuits

While your new home at Hazelwood will have all the cosy indoor comforts that make life good, Perthshire is certainly a lovely play to spend time outside. With the Angus Glens to the east and the Cairngorms to the north, Blairgowrie couldn't be better placed for activities like hikes, fishing, road cycling, mountain biking, kayaking and 'Munro bagging'. There are 28 Munro summits in Perthshire alone, so get your walking boots on.
