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.

Specialist fine wine shop, with many rare and unusual wines. Book for our wine dinners and events or come to the shop and find a special bottle. Mixed cases delivered to your holiday home. A real aladdin's cave of wines. Don't visit Crieff without dropping in!
We always call in to Harrison’s when we visit Auchterarder. The selection of wines are superb and hand picked and you can’t buy them in Norfolk! The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to recommending a new wine. I believe they supply some of the leading hotels in the area too.

Scotland's oldest lending library sits in a tranquil rural location beside the River Earn. Founded in 1680 by David Drummond 3rd Lord Madertie, with a school, at Innerpeffray near Crieff in rural Perthshire. Today thinking people from across the world come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, to explore the social heritage captured in its Borrower's Register, and turn the pages to be inspired by books dating from four centuries.
I loved everything about this library. What a little idyll. I felt like I connected with history in a really real and wonderful way looking at the old books and borrowing register. Wonderful, friendly guides.

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.

Every time we visit Scotland we look forward to our visit at Knock Castle and we wish it could be more often. Jason always makes us feel at home with a warm welcome, with sincere, 1st Class attention. The place is beautiful, serene, romantic, and peaceful. Every stay is as perfect as our first. Our room was large, clean, quiet, and perfect. We had dinner many nights there and it was always excellent. Our dinner host was great. He greeted us, took our dinner order, seated us and provided excellent service. Many kudos to Jason's staff for they are always polite and efficient. We can't wait to come back. Sue and Daryl, West Palm Beach FL USA

There really is something for everyone at Crieff Visitor Centre. A warm welcome, great food, space for the children to play, fantastic gifts, unique fashions and accessories, specialist homeware, viewing area for the Caithness Glass Factory, a Garden Centre packed with great ideas and plants, the Drovers exhibition and the Art Gallery and Antiques area. Located in the beautiful town of Crieff, surrounded by hills and countryside it’s perfect for exploring the area or perhaps enjoying a spot of retail therapy and great coffee with friends.•In the Garden & Plant Centre we have something for every garden and gardener, from shrubs and plants to tools, bird houses and ornaments and much more.•In our Gift shop and showrooms we sell beautiful gifts and souvenirs, fashions, outdoor clothing and accessories including jewellery, shoes and handbags. There’s also music and books as well as speciality whiskies and other Scottish Gifts. •This is home to the famous Caithness Glass where you can buy a range of quality glassware and paperweights and also view the craftsmen and women at work in the factory next door. You can even make your own paperweight!•Next door there is an excellent little Tartan Shop and Art Gallery and Antiques area for those interested in the finer things in life.•A visit to the centre would not be complete without stopping off at our Drover’s Restaurant where we serve fresh local produce cooked on the premises by our skilled chefs. Here you can enjoy the very best in Scottish cuisine from a simple cup of tea with one of our delicious homemade cakes to a full mouth-watering meal.•And finally there is the Drover’s Exhibition which follows the Lives and Times of the Highland Drovers - very relevant locally as the Crieff October Tryst (market) was the centre of the droving trade in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
