About Dunkeld

Dunkeld is a cathedral town on the River Tay, 15 miles north of Perth, where the Highlands begin in earnest.

The ruined Cathedral of Dunkeld, set on the riverbank amid mature trees, is one of the most atmospheric ecclesiastical buildings in Scotland.

The town is small but well kept, with a preserved historic centre, independent shops, and a strong draw for visitors exploring Perthshire.

It sits just across the Tay from Birnam, connected by Thomas Telford's bridge of 1809, and the two villages are closely linked in character and community.

About Perth and Kinross

Perth and Kinross is a large council area in the heart of Scotland, stretching from the lowland farmland of Strathearn and the Carse of Gowrie in the south to the remote Cairngorm peaks and Highland glens of Atholl and Rannoch in the north.

Perth — the 'Fair City' — is the administrative centre and largest settlement, a compact and handsome city at the tidal limit of the River Tay that served as Scotland's capital in the medieval period and retains a civic confidence well beyond its size.

The area divides naturally into Highland and Lowland: south of the Highland Boundary Fault lie the fertile straths and market towns of Strathearn, Kinross-shire, and the Carse; north of it, the landscape rises steeply into the Grampians, with Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, and Blair Atholl strung along the great routes into the Highlands.

Kinross-shire, historically a separate county, sits in the south-east around Loch Leven — a nationally important nature reserve and the setting for one of Scotland's most dramatic episodes of royal captivity — and retains a distinct local identity within the wider council area.

Transport links converge on Perth, where the M90, A9, and main rail lines from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, and Inverness meet, making the city one of the best-connected in Scotland — though the more remote Highland communities depend on the A9 trunk road and its long-awaited dualling programme.
