Tour Scotland Travel Video Winter Trees Cathedral Dunkeld Perthshire

Tour Scotland Winter travel video of trees by the Cathedral on ancestry visit to Dunkeld, Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Dunkeld is an important crossing point on the River Tay. We believe a monastery may have stood on the site as early as the 6th or 7th century. A stone cathedral was first built in the mid 800s to shelter relics of St Columba being brought inland from Iona to escape Viking raids. Construction of the current cathedral began in mid-13th century and it wasn’t finished until the 16th, shortly before the reformation in 1560.
