Crieff
Gaelic: Craoibh (tree)
Badge: The Earl on a chair upon the mound, holding the scales of justice with the stocks in front of him and the town cross behind his left shoulder.
Crieff has developed into a hub for tourism, trading mainly on its whisky and cattle droving history.
The cattle markets/trysts held up until the 1870s brought through the town as many as 70,000. This trade was taken over by Falkirk trysts and the railways. In the eighteenth century a textile industry in flax was established, hence the Weavers Hall.The tartan is found in the 1819 Key Pattern Books of Wilson of Bannockburn.
