Blairgowrie and Cargill's Leap.|🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Blairgowrie is one of the largest towns in Perthshire, sitting to the north of the city of Perth on the banks of the River Ericht. By the end of the 18th century the Blairgowrie area was a huge centre for growing flax with 12 spinning mills being set up. Blairgowrie is now the focus of the Perthshire soft fruit growing industry (especially raspberries), and is popular with golfers and anglers. It is also the main start point for the 60-mile circular Cateran Trail that walkers can follow around the historic drove roads used by cattle rustlers. Blairgowrie is the gateway to Glenshee which caters for year-round sports including skiing, golfing, mountain biking, abseiling, hang gliding and paragliding. Close by, the village of Meikleour boasts the Meikleour Beech Hedge which was planted in 1746 and is officially recognised as the tallest hedge in the world. Cargill's Leap is a historical landmark in Blairgowrie and Rattray, Scotland, where Donald Cargill, a minister and covenanter, escaped Government troops by jumping over a narrow part of the River Ericht. Donald Cargill (1619 – 27 July 1681) was a Scottish Covenanter who worked to uphold the principles of the National Covenant of 1638 and Solemn League and Covenant of 1643 to establish and defend Presbyterianism. There is a monument to him at his birthplace in Rattray, Perthshire and his name also appears on the Covenanters' Memorial near Maybole, South Ayrshire. https://maps.app.goo.gl/UQY5SPeWMVXyk...
