Spring Road Trip Drive To Visit The Cathedral In Dunblane Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of a Spring Easter Monday, sunny but cold, road trip drive, with Scottish fiddle music, West on a single track road to visit the Cathedral in Dunblane, a town in the council area of Stirling. The Cathedral was once the seat of the bishops of Dunblane, also sometimes called of Strathearn, until the abolition of bishops after the Scottish Reformation. There are remains of the vaults of the episcopal palace to the south of the cathedral. Technically, it is no longer a cathedral, as there are no bishops in the Church of Scotland, which is a Presbyterian denomination. William Chisholme, the last Catholic bishop of Dunblane in 1561, later became bishop of Vaison in France. The cathedral contains the graves of Margaret Drummond of Stobhall, a mistress of King James IV of Scotland and her two sisters, all said to have been poisoned. This road is only wide enough for one vehicle. It has some passing places. If you see a vehicle coming towards you, or the driver behind wants to overtake, try to pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite a passing place on your right. Give way to vehicles coming uphill whenever you can. If necessary, reverse until you reach a passing place to let the other vehicle pass All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
