Dunkeld
Dunkeld is a small town on the River Tay in Perthshire, Scotland. In the 9th century Kenneth MacAlpin is said to have brought relics of St Columba there, and it became a leading church centre of the kingdom of Alba. Its lay abbot Crínán was the father of King Duncan I, so the royal line that ruled until 1286 is known as the House of Dunkeld. Its partly ruined medieval cathedral still stands.
