What to do and see in Crieff, Scotland: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
Crieff (/kriːf/ ( listen); Scottish Gaelic: Craoibh, meaning "tree") is a market town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies on the A85 road between Perth and Crianlarich, and the A822 between Greenloaning and Aberfeldy. The A822 joins the A823, which leads to Dunfermline. Crieff has become a hub for tourism, famous for its whisky and history of cattle droving. Attractions include the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and Glenturret Distillery. The nearby Innerpeffray Library (founded about 1680), is Scotland's oldest lending library. St Mary's Chapel, adjacent to the library, dates from 1508. Both are open to the public: the library is run by a charitable trust, while the chapel is in the care of Historic Scotland.

My wife and I had spent an afternoon walking around the wonderful gardens. We took a train from Edinburgh to Stirling, then took a taxi from the train station. The small staff received us very warmly, then helped us get a taxi back to nearby Crieff then Stirling. We had terrific weather, but I can only imagine being out in those gardens if it starts to rain. A real highlight was the restored obelisk sundial, which itself would be worth the visit to the right person.

Our party was taken round by Sue, who was very knowledgeable and gave clear explanations of all the processes that go into making both the single malt whisky - Glen Turret and the blended whisky - Famous Grouse. The tour involves quite a lot of stairs, but the less agile members of the group were well taken care of and then joined the rest of us for the final part of the tour on the level. All round an excellent visit.

Well worth the money! We had an excellent time on the tree top assault course! Excellent instructions who were with us the whole way and really made the trip more enjoyable, the activity lasted nearly two hours and was great fun. Its very safe, impossible for you to become unclipped and if you panic they can get you down... although they will encourage you to keep going. There is something for everyone at Action Glen - gold, crazy gold, quad bikes, horse riding, archery, air riffles etc - worth a visit if you are in Crieff.

Well worth a visit. So beautifully and skillfully decorated and reminded us of the Christmas shop Bronner's in Michigan USA. Great place to wander around and so much to purchase
