Macrosty Park,
Crieff
Macrosty Park, Crieff was
opened in 1902. It is named after it's benefactor, James Macrosty, who was
Provost of the town.
The park is probably the
most picturesque in Scotland, with a fine collection of mature trees and
the Turret Burn flowing through it.
The area on the west bank
of the Turret is actually named Mungall Park after Walter Mungall, Provost
1913-25.
The Victorian bandstand, gifted
by the brother of James Macrosty, has concerts in summer. |

There are often activities
and two children's play areas. A number of picnic tables are placed around
the park, making it an ideal place for a day out in fine weather. |
| Fine view across western
Strathearn and to Ben Chonzie can be taken in from the highest points in
the park. |

 |
A mill was once sited
in the park - the Weir and Lade which fed this and others downstream can
be seen. |
| Macrosty Park is situated
on the west side of Crieff at the foot of Milnab Street. There is a large
car park. From here you can set off along Lady
Mary's Walk. A beautiful path along the River Earn gifted to the town
by Sir Patrick Murray of Ochtertyre House. |
