About

Last entry 4pm. One of Scotland's finest medieval churches. The lower part of the tower is Romanesque but most of the building was built in the 1200s, and extensively restored in the 1800s. The 15th century choir stalls - amongst the oldest now surviving in Scotland - are carved with real and fantastical beasts.

An impressive cathedral with amazing wood work inside and history. The bell tower is the oldest part of the church and it's the original one that was built back in medieval times. If you pay attention to it, the bell tower has two different colors and materials being the top part (light colored) a more recent addition. You can spend a long time in it just looking at and admiring all the beautiful details! The people who work at the cathedral are very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. This is a must visit!

Wonderful afternoon concert in Dunblane Cathedral 3pm to 4pm thanks to the Dunblane Arts Guild followed by coffee and biscuits in their hall. Then took a walk down memory lane along the river to Laig Hill Park where we used to swim. Pleased to see folk still enjoying the water.

A must see, both from a historical and an aesthetic view. The early 20th-century windows and carvings are beautiful additions to this majestic restored building. Don't miss the tiny chapel in the southwestern corner.

Beautiful cathedral! Nice man inside gave us a lot of interesting history on it. Ornate carvings, lovely arches. If you are in the area, worth a stop.

Dunblane is a beautiful example of what a ruined cathedral can become. There is so much educational information there. I am so glad that we stumbled onto it because we needed to stop in town for food. What a lovely village.
