In this video, Gordon Greig talks to Paul Adair about his memories of the lost Perthshire village that once existed just to the south of Blairgowrie. This former weaving community went into decline with the growth of water powered mills in Blairgowrie in the late nineteenth century but several houses existed into the 1970s.
Gordon Greig’s Gt Gt Grandparents, William and Elizabeth Gow (nee Peddie) lived at the Muirton after their marriage in 1830. In the late 1940s and 1950s Gordon would make childhood visits with his family to visit his Aunt Jenk at the Muirton and recounts many fond memories of happy times spent at the Muirton.
The introductory passage was written and spoken by Jennifer Woods of Blairgowrie whose family connections include Ewan Geddes, a well-known Perthshire artist who frequently painted at the Muirton.
