dunkeld cathedral

We attended a funeral of a dear friend. There were snow showers that morning so the setting was idillic next to the Tey. Would have loved to spend more time there, it certainly helped being in such a beautiful place to say our fond farewells.

Very beautiful historical cathedral. Well kept grounds and situated with beautiful views. Visitor book available to sign, and prayer book available for providing requests for visitors and parishioners to offer thoughts and prayers for those mentioned. Great comfort.

If you are in Dunkeld, please visit. The grounds alone are worth it. The river flows fast but beautifully. Our daughter was married in the Cathedral ....spectacular, natural scenery made it a wonderful memory.

Located in Dunkeld 15 miles north of PerthA very nice Cathedral, as Cathedrals go, not big.It has a small museum of interest and information about who built the Cathedral.nice architecture and clean and tidy.The Cathedral, the bridge and the village all have one man in common -visit and find out who it is - Outside Scotland or military circles he is not that well known.Find out by going on the internet.Nice village, Cathedral and a fast running river running through.worth a visit Cathedral, bridge and a visit to village just costs the fuel to get there last visited 2012

This is a very nice place in great grounds.Real!y nice inside and don't forget to explore the area at the back of the church.Really nice statues and books of remembrance. The grounds especially by the river are superb.

Our trip to Dunkeld was not our first and hopefully not our last. The cathedral (far too grand a title for this welcoming space) lies nestled on the river bank with the hills overlooking and the woods an ever present addition.

A quaint village plus the Dunkeld ell an original indicator of length. The church an amalgam of old and older sitting in beautiful grounds adjacent to the river and a Telford designed arched bridge - A neat place to visit

We paid a short visit to the Cathedral and it is a beautiful building, half of it is still currently used and the other half is currently being conserved by Historic Scotland. I think it is in the most perfect setting by the river with a backdrop of large trees. Really peaceful place.

Lovely small cathedral that incorporates a small museum which gives you some interesting history. The cathedral is beautifully kept & is a very peaceful place. The stain glass windows are beautiful. Worth a visit.

Fabulous cathedral, both the ruin and the renovated half, set in fabulous grounds by the River Tay. I have attended both a church service and an evening concert here. The acoustics are fabulous and it has an abundance of historic charm.

A mixture between ruins and working! Small and tranquil with a real sense of history. It was not touristy in any sense and flet like a house of prayer

This place is a gem. Ancient artifacts, great stories if you have a good guide, beautiful architecture. Ask about the hidden vaults recently found under the floor.

The Cathedral is partly in ruins but the front section is still in use. Beautiful setting by the river and there is a lovely walk along the banks.

Rather unusual - part of the cathedral is derelict although being renovated - or at least stabilised, and can only be viewed from the outside. But the other part is still in use as the parish church! this is open to the public and I spent a very peaceful 15 minutes looked round, and seeing the small exhibition. Look out for the splendid military memorial behind the alter, erected in the 19th Century.

We went to Dunkeld to check out the 14th century cathedral, but found that the ruined nave was currently closed for renovations. The old choir and transept, however, was open and contains some interesting statuary and effigies, including that of Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan ("The Wolf of Badenoch", died 1405).We were also able to take a peek through the windows of the ruins, and while it is interesting, it is very similar to other sites you've likely seen if you've been in Scotland long enough. There is also a tower room accessible behind the cathedral with some interesting fresco remnants.That said, the grounds are really nice (a lot of trees near a river) and are a nice place to walk around. If you happen to be in Dunkeld (or even driving through) it's worth a quick stop.
