    Tips

    There's been an important place of worship here since the early Celtic Church of the 9th century, but no trace of this building remains. The present cathedral dates from 1318. It was damaged during the reformation in 1560.

    The choir is now roofed and holds regular Sunday services, but the rest of the cathedral is ruined. It's preserved as a historic monument by Historic Scotland.

    In winter 2022, the Cathedral was closed due to dangerous stonework. It's currently under repair and should open again soon but there is no set date. Check dunkeldcathedral.org.uk for updates.

      A waypoint with alas a lot of scaffolding. Plenty of nice places in Dunkeld for refreshments. There's a dirt path, muddy after rain, around the east side of the Cathedral property; there's no way through the Cathedral property bounds. Dunkeld Community Archive is nearby in The Cross.

        Cathedral is nice but the huge old trees are spectacular
