Cathedral Street is an historic street in Dunkeld, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It connects High Street and The Cross to the east and Dunkeld Cathedral to the west. Since 1954,[1] the National Trust for Scotland has restored eleven of its properties dating to the 17th and 18th centuries.[2] Several of the buildings are original, having survived the 1689 Battle of Dunkeld.
According to Parliamentary Papers of 1956, "these houses form a picturesque group on the approach to Dunkeld Cathedral and are of great interest as an example of street architecture of the early 18th century". Grants of £2,500 were made during 1954 and 1955.[3]
The monks of the Culdee Monastery, which formerly stood on the site of today's cathedral, in various forms, between the 6th and 13th centuries,[8] brought supplies up the street from the adjacent River Tay via the perpendicular Water Wynd that still exists today.[9]
