Location
Crieff is a market town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies on the A85 road between Perth and Crianlarich and also lies on the A822 between Greenloaning and Aberfeldy.
Crieff is the main town of Strathearn lying on the southern edge of the Scottish Highlands. It has been a holiday resort since Victorian times and is the second largest town in Perthshire with a population of almost 6000.
The town spills from the Knock, the wooded hill above, down to the River Earn. James Square with it's fountain marks the centre of the town. There are a number of tourist attractions such as Glenturret Distillery (Scotland's oldest) and hotels including the grand Victorian spa - the Crieff Hydro.
From a local context the property is on the northern side of West High Street between its junctions with Comrie Street and Academy Road. West High Street forms the main arterial road through Crieff and as such benefits from high levels of footfall and passing trade.
