9 to 17 October - The Crieff and Strathearn Drovers Tryst
Crieff and Strathearn Drovers Tryst celebrates the life, work and play of the people who made Crieff the crossroads of Scotland in the 1700s. This festival recreates the atmosphere of the droving days - without the inconvenience of 30,000 cattle! Now in its 9th year today’s walk festival offers a great choice of Perthshire walks led by local experts. The guided walks range from challenging mountain routes to easier walks with themes as diverse as General Wade, photography, bush craft and even bats.
The events programme isn’t all about walking (and it isn’t even totally about the outdoors!). There is a ghost story night, Comrie Cinema is showing a mountain film and there will be plenty of traditional music, dancing and even pipes and drums to entertain festival goers: these are just a selection of activities available during the week.
On the final Sunday of the Drovers’ Tryst Walking Festival the Hairy Coo Mountain Bike Race offers riders of all abilities a chance to have fun on Comrie Croft’s network of handmade trails.
