Crieff Cinema

High Street / Church Street

Erected in 1924 with 650 seats for Strathearn Cinema Company. Built by

and incredible entrepreneur Peter Crerar, who ran a coach builders

and

ran a steamer on Loch Earn which he had hauled by steam tractor from

Perth. The story goes that the cinema was originally to be a garage

when

he became convinced that cinemas were the thing of the future. He

rushed up and stopped the men on the job telling him they

were now to build his new cinema !

Later owned by CAC. Bingo after cluso
