Cafes in east Perthshire are a mainstay of community life here, with locals often to be found catching up over a cuppie.

And they are a great way to take some time to slow down and make the most of your visit to the area.

Try the popular venue, The Wee Coffee Shop in Blairgowrie for delightful fresh, home cooked food including daily specials, sandwiches and platters as well as delectable cakes and artisan coffees.  The Café in the Square in Alyth has a soft play area for wee ones while The Joinery in Meigle is located close by the wonderful Flour.
