Crieff lies in the heart of Perthshire, one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. There are lochs, rivers, forests and mountains galore. Nearby are charming little towns like Comrie, Aberfeldy and Dunkeld, which are lovely places to spend a few hours.
Its central location means that Crieff is an ideal base from which to explore Perthshire and the Southern Highlands. The towns of Perth (30 minutes), Stirling (35 minutes), St. Andrews, Edinburgh and Glasgow can all be reached by car within an hour while daytrips to the West and East coasts are perfectly feasible. There are also good public transport links to many of these places, so you don’t necessarily have to come here by car.
There is a large number of tourist attractions within an hour’s drive. This is just a small selection:
Crieff Visitor Centre, Highland Drover’s Experience (Crieff), The Famous Grouse Experience (Crieff), Drummond Castle Gardens (Crieff), Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre (Comrie), Tullibardine Distillery (20min), Scone Palace & Gardens (beside Perth), Blair Drummond Safari Park (near Stirling), Wallace Monument (Stirling), Stirling Castle, Falkirk Wheel (45 minutes), Edinburgh Zoo, Deep Sea World (Edinburgh).
The area provides everything for lovers of the outdoors, be it walking, fishing, golf, rock-climbing, riding, canoeing or cycling. We are happy to give you information on any of these activities. Walkers can choose from challenging munros (Ben Vorlich, Ben Lawers, etc) to picturesque low-level walks - the possibilities are endless!
Golfers will find a wide variety of courses within 30 minutes drive ranging from Crieff’s own two courses to small, rural gems set in spectacular scenery. The world-famous courses at Gleneagles (15 min.) and St.Andrews (1 hour) are also easily accessible.
