I’ve always loved Crieff, one of the prettiest towns in Scotland. My memories of the Crieff Hydro go way back to the early 60’s. The first time was with Mum and Dad, as a baby of 10 months old in 1954 - 70 years ago!❤

There’s certainly been some changes to the hotel over the years. Glad you enjoyed the video.
