Dunkeld
Dunkeld and Birnam is a community council area as well as UK Census locality in Perth and also Kinross, Scotland, containing two towns on contrary banks of the River Tay: the historic cathedral "city" of Dunkeld on the north financial institution, as well as Birnam on the south bank. The two were first connected by a bridge integrated in 1809 by Thomas Telford. Both places lie close to the Highland Boundary Fault, which notes the geological limit between the Highlands as well as the Lowlands, as well as are regularly referred to as the "Portal to the Highlands" because of their setting on the highway and railway north. Dunkeld as well as 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 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 area of Dunkeld Cathedral. Around 20 of your homes within Dunkeld have actually been brought back by the National Trust for Scotland, who 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 place of the Birnam Oak, believed to the only remaining tree from the Birnam Wood called in Shakespeare's Macbeth. The Highland video games held at Birnam are the location of the World Haggis Eating Championships.
