PERTHSHIRE BERRIES
All around Blairgowrie you will spot many signs inviting you to come in and pick your own berries. Feel free to park up safely and do so and you will discover the satisfaction in sourcing the ripest, plumpest and sweetest berries. You can pick your own at many berry farms in Perthshire and the following shops sell Berries and other quality fresh produce throughout the season:

The Strawberry Shop – Lethendy, by Perth on A94 a few miles beyond Scone Palace
Brig Farm Shop - Bridgend – 3 miles south of Perth on A912
Dalchonzie Fruit Farm Shop – 2 miles west of Comrie on A85
Gloagburn Farm Shop – Tibbermore, just west of Perth on minor road off A85

Within the City of Perth you can indulge in one off designer boutiques, go in search of designer labels in speciality outlets, or lose yourself in the many unique and individual shops that are privately owned and run.  The pedestrian only area in the city centre has many top name shops sitting alongside a small and friendly wealth of rare and unusual shops.  Look down the many hidden alleyways and you are certain to spot more than one little shop with a character all of its own.

As you drive around Perthshire there are many small cottage industries, do stop in where that sign takes you off your road to a Pottery, Craft or Art Gallery, you may find exactly the treasure you were looking for!

There is a regular programme of events listing Farmer Markets (on the first Saturday of every month) and speciality Food Fairs.  Check local events calendars to time your trip with one of the Country Game Fairs where you can soak up the atmosphere as the local farmers proudly parade their livestock and win prizes for the best of breeding perfected over generations.  Local people use the fairs to showcase their quality produce and can be a great source for shoppers looking to stock up on their Scottish home produced fare.
