Scotland’s Art Deco Heritage 25: Dunkeld

This is the Royal School of Dunkeld, established in 1567. Its present building, situated across the River Tay from Dunkeld itself in what is known as Little Dunkeld and which adjoins Birnam, was constructed in 1930 and shows some Deco features. (The church to the right is Little Dunkeld Kirk.)

Royal School, Dunkeld.

Dunkeld War Memorial

Dunkeld War Memorial is in the immaculately Scottish shape of a cairn. It commemorates the dead of Dunkeld and Little Dunkeld (and I assume Birnam.) It’s set on a hill above the road into Dunkeld, just off the A9.

The photo below gives more of the effect from the road (and from Thomas Telford’s bridge over the Tay which leads you into Dunkeld itself.)
