Sketches of Perthshire ( The Rev P Graham (1812 ) From The North By Dunblane The great road ,which furnishes a communication between north and south of Scotland , passes through Dunblane . In coming from Perth , the nearest route is by Auchterarder , in the vicinity of which , by the roadside ,stands the ancient cemetery of the noble family of Montrose. This road is soon to be made a turnpike . Crieff is a neat village , picturesquely situated , and furnishing comfortable accommodations to the stranger . Should he have the leisure to enjoy in detail ,the beautiful and sublime scenery of this neighbourhood , he will do well to extend his excursion , by the vale of Erne , to the opening of the lake of that name , the distance from Crieff being about twelve miles.He will remark several elegant seats in his course , particularly Ochtertyre ,the residence of Sir Patrick Murray Bart. ; and Drummond Castle the mansion of the Honourable Mr Burr
