If you are coming into Blairgowrie from Perth on the A93 the cemetery is located on the right at approx grid ref 174 438 on OS sheet 53. This was a rather emotional cemetery for me to do as this is where my family rest. I have my father, grandfather, two uncles, my brother and my niece in here. The CWGC record 14 casualties.
