Crieff is a market town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Crieff lies on the A85 road between Perth and Crianlarich and also lies on the A822 between Greenloaning and Aberfeldy. The A822 joins onto the A823 which leads to Dunfermline.
Crieff has developed into a hub for tourism, trading mainly on its whisky and cattle droving history. Tourist attractions include the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and Glenturret Distillery. Innerpeffray Library (established c. 1680), Scotland's oldest lending library, is also nearby. St. Mary's Chapel, adjacent to the library, dates from 1508. Both the library and chapel are open to the public: the library is run by a charitable trust, the chapel is in the care of Historic Scotland.
For a number of centuries Highlanders came south to Crieff to sell their black cattle whose meat and hides were avidly sought by the growing urban populations in Lowland Scotland and the north of England. The town acted as a gathering point or tryst for the Michaelmas cattle sale held each year and the surrounding fields and hillsides were black with the tens of thousands of cattle - some from as far away as Caithness and the Outer Hebrides (for comparison, in 1790 the population of Crieff was about 1,200 which led to a ratio of ten cows per person, similar to the sheep/human ratio in New Zealand).
During the October Tryst (as the cattle gathering was known), Crieff was the prototype 'wild west' town. Milling with the cattle were horse thieves, bandits and drunken drovers. The inevitable killings were punished on the Kind Gallows, for which Crieff became known throughout Europe.
In the nineteenth century Crieff became a fashionable destination for tourists visiting the Highlands and as a country retreat for wealthy businessmen from Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond. Many such visitors attended the hydropathic establishment, Crieff Hypopathic Establishment there, now Crieff Hydro which opened in 1868, and remains in operation. Crieff still functions as a tourist centre, and the large villas stand as testaments to its use by wealthy city-dwellers. Crieff was once served by Crieff railway station. The station was opened in 1856 by the Crieff Junction Railway, but was closed in 1964 by British Railways as part of the Beeching Axe.

Lady Mary's walk at Crieff, part 1
The walk along the north bank of the River Earn, was created in 1815 by Sir Patrick Murray and because it was his daughters favourite it was named after her. It also remains one of the favourite walks for the people of Crieff and its visitors.
From the car park at Macrosty Park a path leads about 400m along the side of the Turret burn to where Lady Mary's Walk begins.
Throughout the year, the walk dramatically changes it's appearance with the seasons. Spring flowers. Lush, warm and sheltered in Summer. Rich reds and yellows of Autumn. Clear, crisp and refreshing in Winter.
The Earn is of course an important salmon river.
At the western end of the Walk there is a choice: back along Laggan Road to Crieff or for a more demanding walk, on to Bairds Monument.
In the 17th century Crieff was Perthshire's principal market town. Scotland's largest cattle sales were held here, the animals being driven from all over the Highlands. Many dealers came up from the south and the cattle were then herded on into England along drove roads that today are frequented by walkers.
