Dunkeld became a religious centre over 1400 years ago, when Celtic monks chose this location as the base for their missionary work in East Scotland. The town’s name translates as “Fort of the Celts” (Dun – Fort / Keld – Celt).
Dunkeld Cathedral is mainly in ruins, although one part of the building is intact and still in use as a church. If it’s a sunny day, the grounds of Dunkeld Cathedral are a lovely place to sit and relax. Especially attractive are the grassy banks of the River Tay, which flows past the Cathedral. Buy an ice cream in the village of Dunkeld and then eat it, lying on the grass beside the river. An idyllic spot.
You might also see some Red Squirrels in the trees beside the Cathedral.
