Crieff has built a reputation for fine food with an amazing choice of cafés, coffee shops, restaurants for fine or casual dining, making it an ideal place to enjoy a break.
One must-visit spot in the area is Drummond Gardens which is so pristine you’ll barely believe it’s real.
A visitor on Tripadvisor said: “Superb gardens in the grounds of Drummond Castle. The castle is not accessible however the keep is. Very large estate, the gardens have a beautiful layout harking back to the 18th century.
“Good small shop, no cafe but there is a drinks and snack van. Lots of seating through the gardens. There is also a good woodland walk with wood carvings to find – good for kids and adults!”
If you enjoy history and literature, you can visit Scotland’s oldest lending library. The Library of Innerpeffray sits in a tranquil rural location beside the River Earn and it was founded centuries ago in 1680.

With a population of 600,000 people, Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city, and the fifth most-visited city in the United Kingdom.
It is home to significantly more people than Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, partly as a result of its important role as an industrial trading city in the 19th century, reports Great British Bucket List.
