Blairgowrie, often simply known as "Blair," is located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, at the base of the stunning Grampian Mountains. United by an Act of Parliament in 1928, this town has a storied history dating back to the 12th century, evolving from a textile center to the heart of Scotland's soft fruit industry. Set on the northern side of Strathmore, the two settlements straddle the River Ericht, with Blairgowrie on the southwest bank and Rattray on the northeast. Its strategic position at the intersection of several historic routes connecting Perth, Coupar Angus, Alyth, and Braemar has significantly influenced its growth. The older settlement, Old Rattray, boasts origins that trace back to the 12th century. The name "Blairgowrie" is fascinating as well; "Blair" comes from the Celtic word for battlefield, while the origins of "Gowrie" are still debated among historians. This rich tapestry of history and etymological intrigue contributes to the unique character of the town.
In the painting and decorating industry good preparation is imperative. This can not be emphasised enough when attempting to get the best results on a project. Any tradespeople who avoid this important stage in the process are clearly in the wrong profession. Inexperienced painters and decorators can often overlook important things such as knotting or sealing walls before lining them. This means that they will never get a long lasting finish and good quality job that lots of knowledge and experience can bring.
