Dunkeld

Dunkeld is one of the most striking examples of early eighteenth century architecture in Scotland. The National Trust for Scotland owns twenty houses (not open to the public) in Cathedral Street and High Street - most of these houses date from when the town was rebuilt after the Battle of Dunkeld in 1689. The bridge which links Dunkeld to the south bank of the Tay was completed in 1809 by Thomas Telford. The cathedral of Dunkeld is currently in the care of Historic Scotland and it was built in the twelfth century, although Dunkeld's link with Christianity goes back to the ninth century when it was the principal seat of the old Celtic Church and capital of the new Scoto-Pictish nation.

An educational visit to Dunkeld involves a self-guided tour of the town, an audio-visual programme on the History of Dunkeld at the Tourist Information Office and educational resources are an illustrated guidebook and Young Person's Guide.
