The towns of Crieff, Comrie and Auchterarder in Strathearn, Perthshire, Scotland lie close to the centre of the country and where Lowlands meet Highlands. Most of the peoples and events in Scottish History touched the area to some degree: Romans, Picts, Celts, Scots, English, Monarchs, Jacobites, Great Men and Women, Saints and no doubt many sinners! Many of the great characters visited the general area - Macbeth, Wallace, Bruce, Montrose, Rob Roy, Bonny Prince Charlie and Robert Burns - have played their part in the making of today's Crieff, Comrie and Auchterarder and the Strathearn area in general.

These history pages are very much my personal opinions on and impressions of what was going on. By virtue of the wide span I wanted to cover and limited space I wished to fill, it is superficial. In places these opinions may be even be somewhat controversial. But where would we be without some latitude in free expression! Decide for yourself.
