Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel of trees in the Cathedral Park on ancestry, genealogy, family, history visit to Dunkeld Highland Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. In 849, relics of St Columba were removed from Iona to protect them from Viking raids. They were brought to Dunkeld by King Kenneth MacAlpin, who appointed a bishop at Dunkeld. Columba became the patron saint of Dunkeld and its monastery. The see was revived in the early 1100s, when Cormac became Bishop of Dunkeld. The cathedral developed over about 250 years. Dunkeld is thought to date back to the sixth century when a monastery was founded beside the River Tay. Today, the semi-ruined medieval cathedral of Dunkeld stands in wooded park land, close to River Tay. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the Autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American English.
