Tour Scotland Video Interior Dunkeld Cathedral Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of the interior of the Cathedral in Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland. The Cathedral is dedicated to St. Columba, whose name means “ dove ”. Tradition has it that his relics, brought from Iona by Kenneth MacAlpin for fear of desecration by marauding Norsemen, were buried under the chancel steps. Dunkeld Cathedral is still used as the town's Church of Scotland parish church, with services every Sunday, although the congregation uses the smaller " Little Dunkeld " Church during winter months. The current minister is the Reverend R. Fraser Penny.

The church, one of the finest remaining from the Middle Ages in Scotland, was built by King David II Bruce, born 1329, died 1371, initially for a small house of Dominican friars.
