 Scottish Towns - Blairgowrie, Perthshire - Local History
Blairgowrie grew from its 18th century village of 400 to be a busy industrial town of 4000 during the 19th century.
This growth was due to the textile mills which were built along the banks of the Ericht to harness its strong flow, providing the power to drive the spinning machines and looms to process flax (once grown abundantly in the district), and later jute.
The estate of Blairgowrie passed from the Drummonds to the Grahams of Balgowan but was later sold to obtain money to raise a regiment by Thomas Graham, who became second-in-command to the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsular War and later Lord Lynedoch.
