Historical Significance
The Crieff Tartan has its roots in the picturesque town of Crieff, which boasts a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was a royal hunting ground. By the 17th century, Crieff evolved into a bustling market town, becoming a center for cattle trading. Notably, during the Jacobite risings of the 18th century, it served as a recruiting center for the British army. Renowned for its whisky production, Crieff is home to the famous Glenturret Distillery, where visitors can explore traditional whisky-making methods. The Innerpeffray Library, established around 1680, is Scotland's first lending library and a treasure for book lovers. Today, Crieff remains a vibrant community, steeped in heritage and natural beauty.
