Murray Fountain

The Murray Fountain sits in Crieff like a small monument to Victorian civic pride - a proper bit of local heritage that most visitors walk straight past. It's a modest but dignified stone fountain, the sort of thing you'd find in market towns across Scotland where the Victorians left their mark on the high street. Nothing flashy, but there's something rather appealing about how it's just sat there, doing its job, for over a century.

You won't need more than ten minutes here, to be honest. This isn't the sort of attraction you'd plan a morning around. But if you're already in Crieff - which you likely are if you're staying at Braidhaugh Holiday Lodge just down the road - it's worth a quick look while you're grabbing a coffee or poking around the shops. The fountain gives you a proper sense of Crieff's past, that moment when the town was thriving as a Victorian spa destination.

It works best as part of a proper walk through Crieff itself. The town's got decent shops and cafes, and from here you can head out towards Comrie Croft if you're after something more outdoorsy - that's only a few miles away and the ratings speak for themselves. If the kids are getting bored with the high street, the fountain will take two minutes and you can press on to wherever's next. Free to visit, obviously - it's just sat there in the street.
