29km (18 miles) W of Perth; 97km (60 miles) NW of Edinburgh; 81km (50 miles) NE of Glasgow
From Perth, head west on A85 for 29km (18 miles) to Crieff. At the edge of the Perthshire Highlands, Crieff makes a pleasant stopover, with good fishing and golf. This small burgh was the seat of the court of the earls of Strathearn until 1747, and the gallows in its marketplace were once used to execute Highland cattle rustlers.
You can take a "day trail" into Strathearn, the valley of the River Earn, the very center of Scotland. Here Highland mountains meet gentle Lowland slopes, and moorland mingles with rich green pastures. North of Crieff, the road to Aberfeldy passes through the narrow pass of the Sma' Glen, a famous spot of beauty, with hills rising on either side to 600m (1,970 ft.).
