There is a definite shift happening in the Strath. The sun is finally making an appearance, the nights are stretching out, and the town is shaking off the winter. The White and the Green The snowdrops are out in force in the woods and gardens across Crieff. In Scottish folklore, these "Fair Maids of February" were the bridge between the dark months and the light. They are much tougher than they look, too - containing a natural antifreeze to survive the Perthshire frosts. Mor

How 2025 set the stage for Crieff We wanted to take a moment to reflect on 2025, our foundational year. Experience Crieff was established to support the regeneration of Crieff and Strathearn by strengthening our visitor economy, supporting local businesses, and creating reasons for people to come together - whether they live here, work here, or are discovering the area for the first time.   In just one year, we have moved from an early idea into a visible, active platform del

“Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!” When Robert Burns wrote his famous tribute to the haggis, he wasn't just describing a dinner; he was writing a love letter to a "pudding" that most of the world finds, honestly, a bit confusing. In Crieff, we take Burns Night seriously - but with a side of the usual Strathearn banter. Whether you’re a local who’s recited Tam o' Shanter so many times you do it in your sleep, or a visitor wondering why ev

As the frost settles over the Earn, the famous doors at Innerpeffray Library have closed for their winter hibernation. But don’t let the quiet fool you; behind those historic stone walls, the team is busy reflecting on a record-breaking year and preparing for a very "accessible" surprise in March. Here is the lowdown on what’s been happening at Scotland’s oldest lending library - and why we think you should be excited for their spring return. A Record-Breaking Year for the H

Here in Crieff, we love a good story. And when that story involves 100 years of quality , rebellion against the cheap High Street rush, and customers driving all the way from Essex just to buy a pair of trousers... well, we’re ready to celebrate. This year, we're raising a glass (filled with something locally distilled) to Valentines of Crieff as they mark a full century of being the undisputed style powerhouse on West High Street. The Middle of Nowhere? Think Again. Valentin

Late nights, local treasures and sugar mice surprises Let’s be honest - nothing says “I love you” like a gift that’s been chosen with care, not clicked in a panic. And Crieff? Well, it’s got Christmas charm by the sleigh-load, with independent shops full of proper presents, cafés for festive fuel-ups, and bars for a well-earned whisky or wine afterwards. Whether you're shopping for the whole family, hunting sugar mice, or just pretending to be Santa with better taste, Crieff’
