| Cathedral | Continued | [continued from page 72] family repaired the choir for worship at their own private expense. In 1762, Government contributed £300 towards a first repair, and in 1815, £1000 towards a second repair, to which the Duke of Atholl added £5000, and restored the choir, with some slight variations, to its original state. The cathedral still stands unroofed, and unheeded by government. But from time to time it has received such repairs from the Atholl family as will prevent it becoming a total ruin. The area of the cathedral, once the highly prized cemetry of the great, is, with a scrag of ground to the south of it, the only burial-place of the inhabitants of Dunkeld. Where the inhabitants interred their dead prior to 1560, is now difficult to tell. Although the cathedral and place of interment are situated within the walls of the Dunkeld park, yet access is freely given by the keeper of the east gate, at reasonable hours, to every person who have there a right of sepulture. *** Antiquities and Ancient Places - The first is the roofless cathedral. It measures 120 by 60 feet; the walls are 40 feet high; and the side aisles 12 feet wide. On each side are seven spacious Gothic arches with fluted soffits, resting on six plain Norman pillars having shafts 10 feet high, and 4½ feet in diameter, and two half columns. Over the arches are two tiers of windows, the lower semicircular, the higher acute. Buttresses project between the windows of the side-aisles, surmounted above the church with traceried spiracles. The windows are all of different designs. At the west end rises the great tower or steeple, and adjoining it, a small octagonal watch-tower, which is very much admired. There are two upright stones on the south of the cathedral, which formed part of the old monastery." New Statistical Account |
