Well worth your time to visit this glorious ancient structure. The original cathedral was abandoned after the Protestant Reformation, but eventually part of the old structure was adapted into a smaller Protestant chapel. That chapel is still actively used for worship and is open to tours for free. The abandoned portion is fenced off because the masonry is unstable, but you can walk around on the outside. The Tay River nearby is pleasant to look upon.

I couldn't go in as they don't allow dogs so I found what's called Bishops Walk at the back of the cathedral. I would definitely recommend a walk down this path which doubles back on itself after about 3quarts of a mile .The trees along the route are nothing short of spectacular and well worth the effort.

Could not comment as it was closed to the public. Looked at it through a heavily padlocked gate.

A hauntingly beautiful Gothic church hidden away in a leafy park about five minutes walk from the centre of Dunkeld. The nave is roofless, in a ruined state and out of bounds for safety reasons, but walking around it I got a very real sense of how large and impressive it must once have been. There's an interesting info board telling the story of the 1689 Battle of Dunkeld which was fought around the cathedral. We could go inside the chapel which is still used for services. Some beautiful stained glass and a little museum in the adjoining chapter house with a few artefacts and lots of info about the history of Dunkeld and its cathedral. The surrounding park is ideal for picnics and you can walk right down to the river. A place well worth seeing.
