Blairgowrie RDA is celebrating after a generous donation from a Carsie resident enabled us to greatly improve our facilities. The group received the bequest from John O’Rafferty on behalf of his late wife Phyllis in memory of their daughter Claire, who sadly died at the age of four in March 1995. Thanks to the family’s kindness, we have taken…

The 24-hour walkathon in the Wellmeadow on Saturday…
