CRIEFF HISTORY TRAIL
In collaboration with the Drovers' Tryst Walking Festival.
The Crieff History Trail is an easy walk around the historic town of Crieff and an opportunity to learn about the major events in the town’s past. Our walk will take us back to the prehistory of Upper Strathearn that includes evidence of ancient peoples to Roman occupation and to the early beginnings of Crieff as a permanent settlement, including the development of mills and weaving. The town’s strategic position has ensured a colourful history that includes cattle droving, Rob Roy, Bonnie Prince Charlie and the fall out from the Jacobite uprising. In the 17th and 18th century Crieff was a centre of trade, transport and justice with a reputation of boasting a ‘kind gallows’.
