Tour Scotland Video Ancient Graveyard Dunkeld Cathedral Perthshire
Tour Scotland video of the ancient graveyard cemetery in the ruined part of the Cathedral in Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland. In AD 843, Scotland's first king, Kenneth I chose Scone as his capital. Fearing another Viking attack, he removed St Columba's relics from Iona and placed them in the care of a Celtic Monastery at Dunkeld. The relics are now said to lie under the chancel steps of Dunkeld Cathedral. A most unusual building, Dunkeld Cathedral is part ruins and part parish church of Dunkeld. The Cathedral is now full of historic relics including the tomb of Alexander Stewart. I didn't see or hear any ghosts today within this ancient graveyard.
