Old Photograph Crieff Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of shops, buildings, horse and carriage and people in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland. Rob Roy MacGregor visited Crieff on many occasions, often to sell cattle. Rob Roy's outlaw son was pursued through the streets of Crieff by soldiers and killed. In the second week of October 1714 the Highlanders gathered in Crieff for the October Tryst. By day Crieff was full of soldiers and government spies. Just after midnight, Rob Roy and his men marched to Crieff Town Square and rang the town bell. In front of the gathering crowd they sang Jacobite songs and drank a good many loyal toasts to their uncrowned King James VIII.

Old Photograph High Street Crieff Scotland

Old photograph of shops and people on the High Street in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland. For a number of centuries Highlanders came south to Crieff to sell their black cattle whose meat and hides were avidly sought by the growing urban populations in Lowland Scotland and the north of England. The town acted as a gathering point or tryst for the Michaelmas cattle sale held each year and the surrounding fields and hillsides were black with the tens of thousands of cattle, some from as far away as Caithness and the Outer Hebrides.

Tour Scotland Photographs Sweetie Shop Crieff Perthshire

Tour Scotland photograph of The Sweetie Shop in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland. Gordon and Durward. Quaint, old style sweet shop in Crieff and home of the " famous sugar mice ". With enough mixed boilings to melt the nations teeth and a sweet factory in the back where you can gawp for hours at them hand making their sugary offerings. It trumps other sweet shops hands down for the quality of their produce, particularly mouth-watering macaroon, finger-licking fudge and quite possibly the best tablet in Scotland.
