Visit Dunkeld & The Hermitage Trail

Nestled on the banks of the River Tay, Dunkeld is one of Scotland’s most picturesque and historically rich towns. Surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, it offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, heritage, and tranquillity.

At the heart of Dunkeld lies the ruins of Dunkeld Cathedral, a stunning riverside structure dating back to the 13th century. Its peaceful grounds and gothic architecture make it a must-see, especially with the backdrop of autumn foliage or spring blooms.

The town itself is charming, with whitewashed cottages, independent shops, and cosy cafés lining the streets. 

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby Hermitage woodland walk, featuring towering Douglas firs and the dramatic Black Linn Falls. It’s a great spot for photography, picnics, or simply soaking in the serenity of Highland nature.

Whether you're after history, hiking, or a quiet escape, Dunkeld offers a warm welcome and a timeless Scottish experience.
