Rob Roy MacGregor was by turn soldier, businessman, castle-rustler and outlaw. But above all he was a folk hero, a latter day Robin Hood whose transformation into a larger-than-life figure began with Daniel Defoe's fictionalised biography "Highland Rogue". This was published while Rob Roy's was still alive and led to the Royal Pardon in 1726 that allowed him to live out his final years quietly, literally a legend in his own lifetime. Excellent restaurants and fantastic scenery closeby.
Many intersting shops in and around Crieff are listed on this site. My favourites are the Stanley's in The Old Cinmea in Auchterarder and the Old Church in Crieff. There is an extraordinary auctin ouse by the Visitors Centre.

Loch Tay Walks - Loch Tay is at the centre of Scotland, south of the Grampian Mountains, with Killin to the south and Kenmore to the north ...near the towns of Aberfeldy, Dunkeld and Pitlochry.
The north side of the loch contains the mountains, where 3 or 4 can be climbed by hopping from one to the other....Ben Lawers, Meall Greig, Meall Garbh and Meall a Choire Leath. Also a few miles north of Kenmore there is Schiehallion which attracts climbers all year round. The loch is also a popular destination with Watersport enthusiasts.
The small village of Kenmore, Perthshire, on the A827 at the eastern end of Loch Tay is an excellent base from which to conduct your walking or climbing of the surrounding area.
Schiehallion(1083), Ben Lawers(1214) and Beinn Ghlas require a few thigh muscles and a good 5 hours of your time. All have manageable paths, again the views are fantastic.
an interesting site showing antique suppliers in and around the area. There is a local Auction house just by the Visitor Centre, Crieff and you must visit the huge collection of Antique Chairs in the Crieff Antique Centre in Crieff.
