Crieff food & drink
Highland-Perthshire whisky town — home of Glenturret, Scotland's oldest distillery
Crieff is a small Perthshire town with one of Scotland's most architecturally distinctive distilleries on its outskirts: Glenturret claims the title of Scotland's oldest working distillery (1763). Glenturret's visitor experience has been substantially upgraded in recent years, and the on-site Glenturret Lalique Restaurant is the town's major fine-dining draw — one of the most-decorated restaurants in Scotland. Crieff's monthly farmers market on the third Saturday is well-regarded in central Scotland. Beyond Glenturret, the Highland-Perthshire whisky belt sits within an hour — Aberfeldy, Tullibardine, Strathearn, and Dewar's Aberfeldy distillery experience are all easy day trips. The town centre has a strong network of small independent food shops and cafés that reflect Crieff's role as the practical base for visiting the Glenturret cluster.
