Crieff is a bustling country town set amidst magnificent Perthshire scenery. Situated 18 miles west of Perth, Crieff straddles the Highland Boundary Fault where the rolling Lowland landscape meets majestic Highland terrain. It is a great touring base to explore the Highlands of Scotland. Also Crieff is just over a hour to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Throughout medieval times the town was a major political and judicial centre that developed into the main cattle trading centre in Scotland between the 16th and 18th centuries. Drovers, and up to 30,000 black cattle, would converge on the huge livestock market. Every year in Crieff we celebrate this with the annual Crieff and Strathearn Drovers Tyrst Walking Festival.
If outdoor activities are your thing then Crieff has plenty to offer. Leven House Bed and Breakfast is a 5 minute walk from Scotland’s Premier outdoor activity centre, ACTION GLEN and also Crieff Golf Club is located a short walk from us a offers a great test of Golf.
Crieff town centre supports a wide range of family-run businesses offering the best of food and drink, clothing, gifts, crafts and arts. Over the past years Crieff has built a reputation for fine food with an amazing choice of cafés, coffee shops, restaurants for fine or casual dining.
A popular destination for tourists, Crieff’s attractions include the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and if you fancy a wee Dram you can visit Scotlands Oldest working Distillery, Glenturret Distillery. Innerpeffray Library (established c. 1680), Scotland’s oldest lending library, is also nearby.
