Blairgowrie & Rattray Local Place Plan - Location based results
Last updated - Friday, 22 August, 2025 at 11:27AM
We are updating the survey details and adding filters as we go - below we will be adding the simple list of all comments from the surveys as they are compiled.
Suggestions based by location: Davie Park
Here are the suggested ideas for Davie Park:
Function space
We currently only have the Angus Hotel with a function room and bar and perhaps the Golf Club.
Gig space for local musicians
Could be considered along with the open space for festivals.
Large open space for festivals and events
Identify large open space for festivals and events, probably bogles field. Designate this for open space tourism.. Alyth Show, Cateran Yomp, Highland Games and maybe other music festivals, pipe band competitions etc.. Need to ensure space is protected to allow future expansion of activities. Also part of field, probably the periphery can also be used for bio diversity and environmental initiatives.
Local Cinema
We do have Strathmore Screen once a month at the Town Hall but there were comments that we need a regular cinema.
Dundee cinemas accessible by public transport hence may reduce need/viability.
Parkrun
A parkrun would attract more people to the town but recognise locating it is very difficult but it could be part of a new development.
Play parks
Improve play parks - many are old, dishevelled and dirty. Other P&K town parks way better - eg MacRostie in Crieff.
Better skate park.
Put a park at Piggy Lane.
A bandstand at Davie park.
An adventure park with ramps etc.
Cycling & Mountain Biking
Cycling
- Cycle Hub - lockable bike stands undercover
- Cycle paths and cycle path network (direct rather than winding)
- A marked cycle path from Rattray to High School would really help - safer routes in general over the town
- Off road cycle route to Dunkeld
- On road cycle paths on main roads
- Create a path/cycle path group
- SCN needs better signingmore awareness
- More direct route from Alyth to Coupar Angus
- Pump track
Mountain Biking
Mountain biking needs to become a local activity that is promoted to locals and visitors. Mountain bike park.
Facilities for Camper Vans - Motorhomes
Suggested needs:
- shop/charging point
- waste water point
- shower block
- drystore coupar angus road
