Crieff, a famous tourist destination, is situated on the geological fault line where the Lowlands and Highlands meet, midway between Perth and Crianlarich. Crieff grew from its 16th- to 18th-century roots as a gathering point for cattle traders to suit the needs of a growing population in the Lowlands due to its strategic location. The gallows, a relic of Crieff's infamous reputation as a "frontier town" known for its penchant for executing criminals, can be seen today in Perth Museum. Most of Crieff was destroyed in a fire in 1716 by Highlanders returning from the demoralising Battle of Sheriffmuir, and the current town layout was planned by James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth in 1731. While Drummond was a supporter of the Jacobite Rebellion and hence opposed further fires, it was he who ultimately succeeded. In 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army remained in town, where they held meetings at the Drummond Arms Inn. Close to Crieff, you may visit the stunning public gardens at Drummond Castle. Crieff is now a thriving tourist destination, home to sites including the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and the Glenturret Distillery's Famous Grouse Experience. Swimming, squash, and a fitness centre are just some of the activities available at the leisure centre. Golf at Crieff Golf Club or the nine-hole course in adjacent Comrie, or take in the breathtaking environment at the Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre. From Crieff, it's not hard to go to Loch Earn, where the Lochearnhead Watersports Centre and beautiful landscape can be found. Place of inspiration in the heart of Perthshire's breathtaking landscape.
