Best Dunkeld Day Trips & Things to Do

One of the best preserved towns in Scotland, Dunkeld offers breathtaking surroundings, a vibrant arts and music scene, and unique shops and galleries. Situated in Perthshire on the River Tay, Dunkeld dates back to the 6th century when a monastery was built here. Dunkeld has a rich history but it burnt down in 1689 during the Battle of Dunkeld. Dunkeld Cathedral, which is still on the banks of the Tay today, was built in the 12th century and added to over the next few hundred years, making its architecture unique. It also has a Cathedral Museum with interesting artifacts.
