Logierait Viaduct

Highlight • Historical Site

Designed by architect Joseph Mitchell, this former railway viaduct opened in 1865, carrying the now-closed Aberfeldy line over the river Tay. In 1994 it was gifted to the local community and in 2000/2001 reopened after many years of disrepair as a community-owned road bridge, having cost around £400,000 to restore.

Dunkeld Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

There's been an important place of worship here since the early Celtic Church of the 9th century, but no trace of this building remains. The present cathedral dates from 1318. It was damaged during the reformation in 1560.

The choir is now roofed and holds regular Sunday services, but the rest of the cathedral is ruined. It's preserved as a historic monument by Historic Scotland.

In winter 2022, the Cathedral was closed due to dangerous stonework. It's currently under repair and should open again soon but there is no set date. Check dunkeldcathedral.org.uk for updates.
