Old Photograph Men On The Bridge In Dunkeld Highland Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of men on the bridge in Dunkeld, Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Dunkeld is located on the banks of the River Tay, which is spanned by a bridge built in 1809 by Thomas Telford. Dunkeld is located close to the Highland Boundary Fault, which marks the geological boundary between the Highlands and the Lowlands, and is frequently described as the Gateway to the Highlands. Shortly after the Battle of Killiecrankie, a fierce battle raged in the streets on 21 August 1689 between the Jacobites and government soldiers. Many of the buildings were burned or destroyed, and much of the Dunkeld we see today was rebuilt in the 18th century.
