Upper Allan Street, BLAIRGOWRIE, PH10 6HL

There are some fine and elegant houses in the streets above the town centre. This is one of the finest.

Located in Upper Allan Street, the school was opened by Mr Alan Macpherson, chairman of the school board, on 19th August, 1879. It was built, at a cost of £6000, on glebe land belonging to the established church. The school was enlarged in 1909, but closed in 2009 when a new school campus opened. The building is Category B listed and stands within a conservation area. It is currently for sale, but any development of the site is unlikely to see any substantial demolition of the existing buildings.

When the photograph was taken, this was St Andrew's Church. Now that St Mary's-South Church has closed, St Andrew's is the only Church of Scotland church in Blairgowrie and hence is the parish church. The field in the foreground is at the top of Newton Street and, before climate change, was much in use in snowy weather as a sledging field, due to its slope. It will probably soon be built over, as are most green spaces in the town.

Located in Kirk Wynd. Also known as the Old Parish Church. The Category B listed building is dated 1824 and underwent restoration in 1884. It has been in use as a rehearsal area and storage space for sets, props and costumes for the Blairgowrie Players since 1979.

Viewed from the junction between Upper Allan Street and Church Wynd. The more distant building is the original school, built 1878 and opened 19th August 1879. On the left is an extension, built 1909. The school closed in 2009 and the site is currently for sale, though being Category B listed, and standing within a conservation area, substantial demolition of the existing buildings is unlikely.

An elegant house stands at the cul-de-sac end of Brown Street, close to Blairgowrie town centre. The house is believed to date from 1832.

Located on the corner of Brown Street and George Street. The chapel is dated 1842. Attached (the pinkish coloured building) is St Catherine's Community Centre - a purpose built Community Centre which opened in 2004.
