Crieff in Strathearn
Crieff in Brief
Crieff
is situated in Strathearn beside the River Earn, [MAP] where due to its central location and good road access
it has always been an important destination. A destination for holidaymakers from
Victorian times, and before that - for Highlanders bringing their cattle to the markets in
Crieff and Perth.
Crieff is a bustling little town where visitors can see craft goods such as pottery, paperweights, crystal and whisky. Just a few miles to the west is Comrie and beyond that, St Fillans at the east end of Loch Earn.
