Blairgowrie's prosperous past has left a legacy of spacious Victorian villas. Many, like Gilmore House, have been turned into B&Bs, but few as successfully as this welcoming haven. There are three gorgeously fitted-out en-suite bedrooms, two guest lounges and a hearty breakfast built around seasonal local produce.
