Dunkeld
Dunkeld and Birnam is an area council area and UK Census locality in Perth as well as Kinross, Scotland, consisting of 2 towns on contrary banks of the River Tay: the historical cathedral "city" of Dunkeld on the north bank, and also Birnam on the south financial institution. Both were first linked by a bridge constructed in 1809 by Thomas Telford. The two areas lie close to the Highland Boundary Fault, which notes the geological border in between the Highlands and also the Lowlands, and are regularly described as the "Portal to the Highlands" because of their placement on the highway and railway north. Dunkeld and Birnam share a railway station, Dunkeld & Birnam, on the Highland Main Line, and are about 24 kilometres (15 mi) north of Perth on what is currently the A9 road. Dunkeld pushes the eastern side of the A9 on the north financial institution of the River Tay. The town is the area of Dunkeld Cathedral. Around 20 of your homes within Dunkeld have actually been recovered by the National Trust for Scotland, that run a store within the town. The Hermitage, on the western side of the A9, is a countryside property that is also a National Trust for Scotland site. Birnam lies opposite Dunkeld, on the south financial institution of the Tay, to which it is connected by the Telford bridge. It is the area of the Birnam Oak, believed to the only remaining tree from the Birnam Timber called in Shakespeare's Macbeth. The Highland video games held at Birnam are the location of the World Haggis Eating Championships.
