Dunkeld
Dunkeld as well as Birnam is a neighborhood council area and UK Census area in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, containing two villages on contrary banks of the River Tay: the historical cathedral "city" of Dunkeld on the north financial institution, as well as Birnam on the south financial institution. Both were first linked by a bridge integrated in 1809 by Thomas Telford. Both places lie close to the Highland Boundary Fault, which notes the geological limit in between the Highlands and also the Lowlands, and also are often called the "Gateway to the Highlands" as a result of their setting on the main road and rail lines north. Dunkeld and Birnam share a train station, Dunkeld & Birnam, on the Highland Main Line, and also have to do with 24 kilometres (15 mi) north of Perth on what is now the A9 road. Dunkeld pushes the eastern side of the A9 on the north financial institution of the River Tay. The community is the place of Dunkeld Cathedral. Around 20 of the houses within Dunkeld have actually been restored by the National Trust for Scotland, who run a shop within the community. The Hermitage, on the western side of the A9, is a countryside residential or commercial property that is also a National Trust for Scotland site. Birnam lies contrary Dunkeld, on the south bank of the Tay, to which it is linked by the Telford bridge. It is the location of the Birnam Oak, thought to the only continuing to be tree from the Birnam Wood named in Shakespeare's Macbeth. The Highland games held at Birnam are the location of the World Haggis Eating Championships.
