Dunkeld Attractions
About 12mi/19.2km to the south of Pitlochry lies the idyllic town of Dunkeld. The pretty town with its attractive market place and picturesque little houses in Cathedral Street (faithfully restored by the National Trust for Scotland; not open to the public) grew up in the late 17th C after the original settlement was destroyed by Covenanters in the Battle of Dunkeld (1689).

Cathedral
The Dunkeld Cathedral, founded in the early 12th C, is one of the oldest in the country, although construction was not completed until 1560.
Hermitage Park
One of the five Tyrolean larches planted in 1738 by the Duke of Atholl survives in Hermitage Park, a wood with nature trails. At that time, such exotic trees were much admired and they were planted widely in Scotland until the turn of the century.
