DUNKELD.
This beautifully situated little Perthshire town traces its name variously in Gaelic as "Fort of the Culdees' or "Fort of the Wood" and is built on the Tay at a spot magnificently surrounded by well-wooded hills. It is a sort of transition point between Highlands and Lowlands; and on August 21, 1689, was successfully defended against 5000 Highlanders by the 1,206 men of the new Cameronian regiment under Cleland of Drumclog, thereby shattering the cause of "James VII." There is a fine bridge across the river, built by Telford, and near the bank is the plain mansion of the Duke of Athole. All the larch forests in Scotland are probably derived from five trees planted here and eleven at Blair in 1738, and of these original trees two still remain by the ruins of the Cathedral, noble specimens nearly 15 feet in girth.
