LOCATION Invergowrie is a village on the northwest bank of the River Tay 18 miles east of Perth and 2.5 miles west of Dundee and has a resident population of circa 1,800 persons. (Source: Perth and Kinross Council). The school is located on Errol Road; in a mixed location with the new primary school adjacent and several religious buildings in close proximity. The Invergowrie bowling club is located opposite along with a number of residential properties. There are a good range of amenities and services within the village and two major employers are located nearby, namely; Scottish Water and the James Hutton Institute. The A85 (Riverside Avenue) road runs to the northeast of Invergowrie and connects the village to Dundee City Centre, the Tay Bridge to Fife and the coastal routes beyond. The A90 dual carriageway is within a short driving distance to the west and provides excellent road links north to Aberdeen and west and south towards Perth, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Frequent bus services connect Invergowrie to Dundee, Perth and Fife. Limited Rail services are available from Invergowrie Railway Station, which sits on the Glasgow to Aberdeen line; however the new regional 'TAYplan' contains a proposal to relocate Invergowrie railway station to serve the Dundee West development.
