Dunkeld Cathedral

The verdant grounds of this cathedral feels like a haven from the busy world. The gently flowing river, the amber leaves, stately pines balance the heavy cathedral pile. Benches dot the riverbanks, where I think it’s necessary to take time to drink in the whole experience in front of you. It’s so calm, so peaceful. Recommend stopping off here for a long lunch break, take time with the grounds, and the cathedral. You won’t be disappointed.

Limited street parking, impressive building, the close for lunch 12.30-13.30 prompt, you could spend hours in the Cathedral, no dogs so we wandered around the building looking at the graves

Dunkeld Cathedral offers a serene experience by the River Tay. The partially ruined medieval architecture is set within peaceful grounds, providing a picturesque spot for reflection. The tranquil riverside location enhances the historical atmosphere, making it a beautiful place to visit.

The cathedral was built between 1260 and 1501. Most of the site is undergoing restoration and the facade is covered with the scaffolding, but there's still a chance to snap great pictures. Inside you can find a tomb of Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, known as "the Wolf of Badenoch" who burned the Elgin cathedral.

Quiet and atmospheric. Dunkeld Cathedral is steeped in history - you can even see the tomb of the Wolf of Badenoch and some early/mid-medieval carved stones. Pity that half of it is crumbling, but 700 years will do that!

Visited while staying in a nearby hotel. Scaffolding around as repair work still ongoing. But you can enter inside to see where Sunday services still go on. Beautiful grounds to walk around. Worth a visit. :)

The best part is the river surrounding it but the cathedral's interior it's also great. All the town worth a visit!

It’s a small church with some rich history that’s still running which is really Cool. There is some ‘remodeling’ happening but it’s still cool to see. There is a stone in that church from ~ 9 or 10 AD, which is wild.
