Autumn Road Trip Drive On B947 Road To Blairgowrie Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Autumn travel video a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on the B947 rural road and A93 road to the River Ericht on ancestry visit to Blairgowrie, Perthshire. The Scottish town of Blairgowrie expanded hugely in the 19th century thanks to the employment provided by the many textile mills which were built along the River Ericht, all now closed. By 1870 there were 12 mills and a few of the disused mill buildings can be seen from the riverside walk west from the bridge and from Haugh Road to the east. Blairgowrie, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and Blairgowrie, a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa were named after the town. Twin cities with Blairgowrie include; Pleasanton, California, United States and Cowansville, Quebec, Canada.
