Dunkeld is an ideal base location if you wish to Tour Scotland or Tour Perthshire. Dunkeld, the fort of the Celts played a vital role in the early history of Scotland, both as a Royal and Religious centre. It was the original seat of the chief bishop of the mysterious kingdom of the Picts; Scotland's first king, Kenneth MacAlpin, built a stone church here early in the 9th century to house the relics of St Columba; and under King David I it was the centre of Christianity in all of Scotland. The present building was constructed between 1315 and 1501. The cathedral was plundered by the Vikings, and vandalized by the stern followers of the Reformation. Dunkeld is a picturesque and delightful town which contains a wealth of interest, and is an ideal base for walking, fishing, golfing, and many other sporting activities.

Tucked away at the foot of thickly wooded hills in Perthshire, you will discover one of Scotland's gems - the cathedral town of Dunkeld. And that's not all. Resting on the opposite bank of the river Tay is the Victorian village of Birnam. Together the beautifully restored buildings and rich heritage of these Highland Perthshire towns are an inspiration for lovers of history, the arts, live music, walking and the outdoors.

Scotland the Autobiography. Two thousand years years of Scottish History by Those Who Saw It. This is a vivid, wide-ranging and engrossing account of Scotland's history, composed of eye-witness accounts by those who experienced it first-hand. Contributors range from Tacitus, Mary Queen of Scots and Oliver Cromwell to Adam Smith, David Livingstone and Billy Connolly. These include not just key historic moments, from Bannockburn to the opening of the new parliament, but testimonies like that of the eight-year-old factory worker who was dangled by his ear out of a third-floor window for making a mistake; the survivors of Culloden, who wished perhaps that they had died on the field; the breakthrough moment for John Logie Baird, inventor of television; and, the genesis of great works of literature recorded by Conan Doyle and Roberrt Louis Stevenson. From the battlefield to the sports field, we have moments of glory or disaster, along with wonderfully readable insights into the everyday life of Scotland through the millennia. This is living, accessible history is told by crofters, criminals, servants, house-wives, poets, journalists, nurses, politicians, prisoners, comedians, sportsmen and many more.
