Old Photographs Crieff Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland video of old photographs of Crieff, Perthshire. For a number of centuries Highlanders came south to Crieff to sell their black cattle whose meat and hides were avidly sought by the growing urban populations in Lowland Scotland and the north of England. The town acted as a gathering point or tryst for the Michaelmas cattle sale held each year and the surrounding fields and hillsides were black with the tens of thousands of Highland cows, some from as far away as Caithness and the Outer Hebrides. In 1790 the population of Crieff was about 1,200, which gave a ratio of ten cows per person.
