3 Things to Do in Crieff this Autumn


Scottish hotel deals

Although we enjoy summer, we are starting to look forward to the beginning of autumn. Perthshire is decidedly lovely as the trees begin to take on scarlet and golden tinges in a few weeks time. Our area of Perthshire offers a number of special seasonal activities that we are eager to visit to year after year.

Visitors to Perthshire may be surprised by the sheer number of activities that Crieff offers to those of all ages and interests. Crieff is a delightful mix of the old and new. The town still retains the charm that first attracted Victorian tourists, yet at Murraypark we provide all of the modern luxurious you may fancy.

To make the most of the season, we recommend the following activities during your stay in Crieff…

Take a walk through the vivid autumnal scenery


Perthshire is known for its lush and breathtaking natural landscape. There is no better evidence for this than when the spectacular scenery comes alive in autumn. Watch the hillsides and valleys break out in crimson, vermilion, ochre, cerise, and gold before your eyes. The best way to view this magnificent change is during an easy stroll through the countryside. Walkhighlands has listed many different walks by difficulty and length.

Tour The Famous Grouse Distillery


The Famous Grouse is one of Scotland’s most famous brands of whisky as you may already be aware. Most conveniently, the Famous Grouse distillery, the oldest distillery in Scotland, is located right in Crieff! It dates back to 1775 and traditional methods are still used in production of the Glenturret single malt. Why not enjoy a wee dram when temperatures dip this autumn?

The distillery offers a range of tours throughout the year –

•    The Experience Tour: £9.95
•    Seasonal Special Tours: £18.95
•    The Taste of Scotland Tour: £25

For more information please visit The Famous Grouse website. 

Treat Yourself to Artisanal Crafts


Perthshire is home to many talented craftsmen who make traditional, high quality products. Visitors interested in local whisky, pottery, glassware, and wine will be pleased to find a huge range of lovely things to take home or bring back to your loved ones. A list of arts and crafts in Crieff is available on the Crieff and Strathearn website.

To get started on a special autumnal getaway, book online at Murraypark Hotel or call our reception on 01764 655555.
