The little town of Dunkeld
is one of Perthshire's gems. Nestling beneath thickly-wooded
hills, the centre of Dunkeld comprises neat late 17thC houses
alongside the ancient cathedral. The oldest part of the mostly
ruined cathedral dates from the late 13thC but there has been
a monastry here since around 600, founded by either St Columba
or Adamnan.
