Dunkeld Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Fiddler's Path North – River Tay

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fiddler's Path is named after a local fiddler who used to compose tunes while sitting on the river bank. Although, the actual spot is on the opposite bank from here [which you pass on the return journey], I think this section is the best with the more scenic views of the River Tay

View of the River Tay from Dunkeld Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dunkeld Bridge was built by Thomas Telford in 1809 and was the main road north to Inverness until the A9 was built in 1977. Today, it provides excellent views up and down the River Tay.
