Craigie (formerly Craigie Knowes)[1] is a residential area of Perth, Scotland, immediately to the south and southwest of the city centre, beyond the South Inch. It is situated in the foothills of the St Magdalene's Hill,[2] [3] over which the M90 motorway passes, as does the B9112. It is separated from the city by the Highland Main Line.
Craigie Hill, a section of St Magdalene's Hill and towards the eastern end of Gask Ridge,[4] is home to Craigie Hill Golf Club, an 18-hole golf course established in 1911.[5] A pitch and putt course was formerly located on the hill.[6] [7] Its registered office was at 52 Tay Street.[8]
Craigie Burn flows down from Craigie Hill, along the southern edge of the South Inch, en route to discharging into the River Tay.[9]
Craigie can be reached via the number 5 bus from the centre of Perth.[10]
