October 30th Tour Video Black Watch Memorial Dunkeld Scotland
October 30th tour video of The Black Watch Memorial in Dunkeld Cathedral, Perthshire, Scotland. The Scottish Horse was a Yeomanry Regiment of the British Territorial Army from 1900 to 1956 when it was amalgamated with the The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry. The regiment saw heavy fighting in both the Great Wars as the 13th Battalion of The Black Watch and in World War II as part of The Royal Artillery. The Cathedral contains the above memorial to the Scottish Horse and a book of remembrance with the names off all who fell in the World Wars. In addition both of the guidons of the Scottish Horse are also lain up in the Cathedral. Each year on Remembrance Sunday the Regimental Association participates in the Church service in Dunkeld.

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.
