The Carse of Gowrie is a stretch of mostly low lying country land in the southern part of Gowrie, Perth and Kinross, between Perth and Dundee. The area offers high quality agricultural land and is well known as a major area for strawberry, raspberry and general fruit growing. In his travels preacher John Wesley described the Carse in May 1768 thus: " We rode through the pleasant and fruitful Carse of Gowry, a plain, fifteen or sixteen miles long, between the river Tay and the mountains, very thickly inhabited, to Perth. " The hardy Scots who made the crossing settled all along the east coast of North America and in the great west that was just then opening up. At the time of the American War of Independence, many United Empire Loyalists moved north from the American colonies to Canada. Scottish national heritage became better known in North America in the 20th century through highland games and other patriotic events. An examination of immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Gowrie arrived in North America very early. The Gowrie family comes from the ancient Scottish Dalriadan clans of the mountainous west coast of Scotland. The name Gowrie is derived from the personal name Goraidh, an Old Norse forename. The Gaelic form of the name was Mac Goraidh, which means son of Goraidh. or son of Godfrey.
