HOMECOMING SCOTLAND 2014
CRIEFF & STRATHEARN DROVERS’ TRYST 11-18 October Crieff & Strathearn Drovers’ Tryst annually celebrates the life, work and play of the people who made Crieff the cattle-droving crossroads of Scotland in the 1700s. The modern-day Tryst is run by volunteers and built around a week-long programme of guided walks in the stunning scenery and autumn colours of Strathearn and surrounding areas of Perth- shire. The walks vary in difficulty but all are enriched by wildlife, plants, trees, history and the company of like-minded people. Comple- menting the walks is a series of enjoyable evening social events, with music, drama, film, talks and exhibitions. The Tryst also embraces a mountain bike event.
