Dunkeld is a small town which sits at the foot of the highlands in Perthshire. The town sits on the bank of the River Tay and dates back to medieval times, when a monastery was founded in the 6th Century. The present day sees a cathedral sitting on the site where the first King of Scotland, Kenneth MacAlpin brought the bones of St Columba and thus established Dunkeld as the first ecclesiastical capital of medieval Scotland.
