Blairgowrie is amongst the most successful teams in Perthshire, 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 Midlands League, Blairgowrie were the champions three years in a row, winning the league in 196970, 197071 and 197172. They won it for a fourth time in 197475.

Some 48 players have left Blairgowrie to become Senior footballers, 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 195859 Scottish Junior Cup quarter-final replay against the eventual winners Irvine Meadow.

Up until the end of the 200506 season, they played in Tayside Division One of the Scottish Junior Football Association's Eastern Region.

The SJFA restructured prior to the 200607 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 200708, won the league with a game to spare, beating Downfield 61 in their final home league fixture.
