Dunkeld Cathedral is a medieval cathedral church located in Perthshire, Scotland, founded in the early 13th century as the seat of a bishop. The surviving remains, which date primarily to the 13th and 15th centuries, consist of the cathedral choir and portions of the nave, constructed in the Romanesque and later Gothic architectural styles with characteristic pointed arches and substantial stone work. The cathedral was a major ecclesiastical centre and pilgrimage destination in medieval Scotland, housing relics associated with Saint Columba. Following the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century, the building fell into decay, though the choir was partially restored in the 19th century and remains substantially intact as one of Scotland's significant medieval ecclesiastical monuments.
