What To Expect

Drummond Gardens

Located deep in Perthshire, Drummond Castle is a 15th century keep with a 17th century mansion house extension, set into 12 acres of formal terraced gardens. The Castle has seen a lot of history and is connected to Oliver Cromwell and The Jacobite cause, eventually being seized as a government asset. Today the house is private but the claimed gardens are considered to be the best example of their kind in Scotland and well worth a visit.

Dunblane Cathedral

The Cathedral at Dunblane dates back over 1,000 years and is one of the best examples of a Medieval place of worship in Scotland. The tower dates from the 1100’s and the chancel in the 1400’s. During the religious reformation lead by John Knox, Dunblane Cathedral was stripped of its furnishings and fell into disrepair until it was fully restored in the 1800’s.

The folly was built in 1760 for the Third Earl of Breadalbane to honour the blind bard Ossian

Dunkeld Cathedral stands on the banks of the River Tay in Dunkeld, Perthshire. It is set within a beautiful wooded area to the northern end of the postcard perfect village of Dunkeld.

Because of the long construction period of some 250 years, the cathedral shows mixed architecture. Gothic and Norman elements are intermingled throughout the structure.

Although the northern part of the building lies in ruins, the cathedral is in regular use today and is open to the public.
