Dunblane Cathedral

Having temporarily exhausted Bridge-of-Allan for blip photos I moved a couple of miles up the road to Dunblane.


Well, the most iconic feature here is Dunblane cathedral, a beautiful medieval church now home to a congregation of 1200 and serving central Scotland.

Part of it dates back to the 11th century but most of it is Gothic from the 13th century.

It contains the graves of Margaret Drummond of Stobhall, a mistress of King James IV of Scotland and her two sisters, all said to have been poisoned.


The cathedral is one of seven churches in the town and it's a popular tourist destination as well as a place of worship and weddings.
