Home colours

Blairgowrie F.C. are a Scottish junior football club based in Blairgowrie and Rattray, Perth and Kinross. Their home ground is Davie Park.

Blairgowrie are amongst the most successful teams in Perthshire,^{[citation needed]} having won ten Currie Cups, eight Perthshire Junior League Championships, and thirteen Perthshire Junior Cups between the time of formation in 1946 and the disbandment of the Perthshire League in 1969.

When the Perthshire, Angus, and Dundee leagues combined to form the Midland's League, Blairgowrie were the league champions three years in a row, winning the league in 1969-70, 1970-71 and 1971-72. They won it for a fourth time in 1974-75.

Some forty-eight players have left Blairgowrie to become Senior footballers,^{[citation needed]} and they include Charlie Thomson, Kenny Cameron, and Lindsay Kydd to name a few.

The club's record attendance is 5,200, which occurred during the 1958-59 Scottish Junior Cup quarter-final replay against the eventual winners Irvine Meadow.

Up until the end of the 2005-06 season, they played in Tayside Division One of the Scottish Junior Football Association's Eastern Region.

The SJFA restructured prior to the 2006-07 season, and Blairgowrie found themselves in the twelve-team East Region, North Division. They finished fourth in their first season in the division, and in 2007-08, won the league with a game to spare, beating Downfield 6-1 in their final home league fixture. They will play in the East Region Premier Division for season 2008-09.
