Cathedral is nice but the huge old trees are spectacular

Nice tranquil place to be

In several places, you can find dead trees with coins hammered into them! The forest dwellers don't like that very much!

An interesting structure, just of the path to Pine Cone Point. This was once a viewpoint, now surrounded by trees, in a very atmospheric setting.

For Trail MTB explorers on an adventure. Well, if you've already checked out Ossian's Hall and Pinecone Point, why not add a visit to the Torryvald Folly to complete the experience? This raised viewpoint is an odd but delightful stop—an echo of a bygone era when Victorian visitors adored these decorative follies. Back then, they loved nothing more than stumbling upon fanciful structures like this one, built for the sheer joy of seeing something whimsical amidst the landscape. The current Torryvald Folly stands where an old Victorian viewpoint once stood, overlooking the same enchanting scenery that charmed visitors long ago. The name "Torryvald" comes from a long-abandoned township that lay to the north, adding a touch of history to this quirky architectural feature. It might not have a practical purpose, but it’s certainly got character—something to make your journey just that bit more intriguing. So, as you explore the area, take a moment to step up to Torryvald Folly. Snap a photo, soak in the view, and imagine yourself in the shoes of a Victorian traveller, marvelling at this curious spot.

Taybank does excellent food outside

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.

A tranquil and peaceful location to take a break. It can be bustling on the street yet peaceful here. There's limited seating.

If you're planning to use Dunkeld for car parking on a sunny weekend/holiday make sure to get here early. It rapidly gets full of parked cars.

The stone bridge across the River Braan is now open again after being closed for over a decade.

The force of water is awe-inspiring and a bit frightening.

Like the village the Cathedral has a lot of history albeit today it's mainly a ruin. More importantly there's a shared dirt path around the Cathedral allowing access to the riverside path and travel north.

Closed for refurbishment until February 2024.

In 849, relics of St Columba were removed from Iona to protect them from Viking raids. They were brought to Dunkeld by King Kenneth MacAlpin, who appointed a bishop at Dunkeld. Columba became the patron saint of Dunkeld and its monastery. The see was revived in the early 1100s, when Cormac became Bishop of Dunkeld. The cathedral developed over about 250 years, and the earliest surviving part is the choir of the late 1200s. It later became a parish church. The nave was begun in 1406, and lost its roof shortly after the Protestant Reformation of 1560. There are paintings dating from the 1500s on the vault of the bell tower’s ground floor, which once served as an ecclesiastical court. There are also fine memorials in the choir (not in our care), including the effigy of Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan – notorious as ‘The Wolf of Badenoch’.

It was in 2013 that local residents became determined to revive this formerly neglected garden. Amazing work has been carried out since by many volunteers, which means that locals and visitors alike can now enjoy a really lovely and well maintained community garden 🌳🌼🌳🍂 in the heart of the village.

A historic building with the perfect viewing point of the nearby waterfall.

A lovely town along the River Tay, Dunkeld is a wonderfully picturesque town in Perthshire. The town centre feels like a step into history, albeit with delicious modern bakeries, cafés, restaurants, and independent shops.
