Carse of Gowrie

The Carse of Gowrie is a low-lying agricultural ward stretching along the northern bank of the River Tay between Perth and Dundee. Its landscape is dominated by fertile, flat farmland historically used for fruit growing and arable crops. The area is defined by the A90 road and railway line running its length, connecting its small settlements like Errol and Inchture.

The ward's character is shaped by its proximity to the Tay, with views across the estuary to Fife. Long, straight roads cut through the fields, lined by farmsteads and occasional large estates. A notable feature is the network of drainage ditches and levées, essential for managing the land reclaimed from the river.
