View of the River Tay from Dunkeld Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dunkeld Bridge was built by Thomas Telford in 1809 and was the main road north to Inverness until the A9 was built in 1977. Today, it provides excellent views up and down the River Tay.

There's been an important place of worship here since the early Celtic Church of the 9th century, but no trace of this building remains. The present cathedral dates from 1318. …

A lovely town along the River Tay, Dunkeld is a wonderfully picturesque town in Perthshire.

The town centre feels like a step into history, albeit with delicious modern bakeries, cafés, restaurants, and independent shops.

Loch of the Lowes

A small visitor centre at Loch of the Lowes with some refreshments available. The road beyond the visitor centre is idyllic. Very quiet indeed and no traffic at all when I cycled it on a Sunday morning.
