'''Crieff''' ({{IPAc-en|k|r|i:|f|audio=Crieff.ogg}}; {{langx|gd|Craoibh}}, meaning "tree") is a Scottish [[market town]] in [[Perth and Kinross]] on the [[A85 road]] between [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]] and [[Crianlarich]], and the [[A822 road|A822]] between [[Greenloaning]] and [[Aberfeldy, Scotland|Aberfeldy]]. The [[A822 road|A822]] joins the [[A823 road|A823]] to [[Dunfermline]]. Crieff has become a hub for tourism, famous for [[whisky]] and its history of cattle droving. Attractions include the [[Caithness Glass]] Visitor Centre and [[Glenturret Distillery]]. The nearby [[Innerpeffray Library]] (founded about 1680) is Scotland's oldest lending library. St Mary's Chapel beside it dates from 1508. Both are open to the public: the library is run by a charitable trust; the chapel is in the care of [[Historic Scotland]].
