St James's Church

The church sits quietly on the edge of Crieff, a solid stone building that rewards a proper look around if you're passing through Perthshire. St James's Church is worth a detour mainly for anyone interested in Scottish ecclesiastical architecture rather than casual visitors after a quick tourist tick-off. The interior has genuine character - old pews, period detail, the sort of place where you can actually sense the centuries of worship that's happened within these walls.

It's the kind of stop that works brilliantly if you're already exploring Crieff itself. Gives you thirty minutes of genuine peace and quiet, which matters more than you'd think when you're on a holiday park break. The surrounding area is pleasant for a walk, and it connects reasonably well with visits to nearby attractions if you're doing the slow tour of Perthshire.

If you're staying at Braidhaugh Holiday Lodge or Comrie Croft - both excellent parks, the latter particularly highly rated - this fits naturally into a morning's gentle wandering around Crieff before lunch. Families with restless young children might find it a bit static, but anyone who appreciates older churches and Scottish heritage will find it satisfying. There's no rushing here, which is rather the point.
