Dunblane Cathedral is in a Level 4 COVID protection area and is closed. Find out more about our COVID response at historicreopening.scot. Dunblane Cathedral is a beautiful medieval church in Dunblane which dates as far back as the 12th century. Dunblane Cathedral receives high but well earned praise for a building smaller than some English parish churches, lacking the architectural flourishes and cohesion of most other cathedrals; and one which only narrowly survived the threat of demolition to make way for the railway. The tower is from the late 11th century, offset, and slightly squint on the south. Admire the Romanesque arched windows in the lower storeys, the upper stage and parapet which date from 1500, bearing the arms of Bishop Chisholm, which may originally have been freestanding. The Nave, dating back to 1240 is possibly the finest part of the cathedral.

We booked in advance and received a warm welcome on a rainy day. The staff are extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and were very happy to answer all our questions. There is a small but well stocked shop which we bought a few things from. The history of the building is fascinating, the Victorian woodwork in this Cathedral is absolutely stunning (look out for the carved flora and fauna including camels, fighting dragons, bats and thistles!) and the stained glass really is some of the finest C19th and C20th we have seen. The guidebook (cheap as chips and a further reduction for HistoricEnvironmentScotland members!) is well worth purchasing, both to use whilst walking around but as a souvenir with some wonderful photos and highlights.

We loved exploring this graveyard and seeing Rob Roy's grave. Free parking, there was a donation box to help with the costs of looking after the church. Strolling around the grounds we saw a path that led into the woods so we decided to follow it and after a minute or so we came to a lovely waterfall with a bridge over the river. Nice way to spend an hour if you're interested in history.

This is a lovely church, people with a disability may need assistance to get there, however once you get there you will find a warm welcome and a lovely congregation.

Lovely old church built by Edward Colquhoun in the late 1800's! It has an old Viking Hogback Stone and some very interesting gravestones to look at in the grounds. We were sorry it wasn't open to have a look inside!

Callendar is a lovely area to explore. Nice shops and lovely views. The church is beautiful and in the centre of the town. There is also a nice walk along the river Teith by the car park. When we visited the river had burst its banks so please be careful.
