CRIEFF, a '''parish''', in the county of Perth; 17 miles (W. by S.) from Perth, and 56 (N. W.) from Edinburgh. This place, of which the name, of Gaelic origin, is derived from its situation on the side of a hill. The town is beautifully situated on the sloping acclivity of an eminence near the base of the Grampian hills. The parish is separated into two divisions by the intervening lands of the parish of Monzie. The church, built in 1786, and thoroughly repaired in 1827, affords accommodation for 966 persons; and an additional church was erected in 1837 called West Church. There are places of worship for members of the '''Free Church''', '''United Secession''', and '''Relief Church''', '''Original Seceders''', and '''Roman Catholics'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43429#s2 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 233-246.
