The town of Crieff and Drummond Castle nearby were important Jacobite concentration points during the march south from Glenfinnan toward Edinburgh. Several Perthshire clans and Drummond family adherents joined the Jacobite army here in August-September 1745, adding to the growing force. Crieff was a major tryst town — traditionally a cattle market — and its geographic position at the Highland edge made it a natural assembly point. Government forces in Perthshire were too weak to interfere with the Jacobite muster.
