Crieff

Crieff

Crieff is situated about 17 miles west of Perth at the junction of Glen Turret and Strathearn. It is not easy to read the concentration of settlement names in this area, but the Kirk (K: of Kreef) can be clearly seen as a focal point. In Pont's time Crieff was already becoming important as a centre for cattle droving, with its autumn market, only eclipsed by Falkirk in the 18th century.
