Three photos of the ancient Dunadd Hill Fort,
where inauguration ceremonies for the Kings of
Dalriada allegedly took place (see foot print in
stone in top right photo). High atop the hill it wasn't difficult to understand why the site was chosen. |

Look, it's not a CASTLE!!! This antiquity
is the famed and lovely Dunkeld Cathedral,
whose attractive landscaped grounds on the
shores of the River Tay are popular with
tourists and locals alike |
|
Dunkeld Cathedral has a treasure trove of historical
goodies, including the casket of the powerful,
violent clergy-murdering "Wolf of Badenoch," the tomb stone of legendary fiddler Niel Gow, and the
seal of notorious protestant suppressor,
Cardinal (and Chancellor) David Beaton |
