Artists from all over the UK show paintings, prints and sculptures and the exhibition attracts around 10,000 visitors each year. This is the second time I have exhibited, and will have 3 oil paintings on display comprising of views of 'Glencoe (2), and 'Perthshire (1)', 'Perthshire (2)'.
The exhibition is staged in the 19th century Gothic Parish Hall, the Duchess Anne, which provides an attractive venue for some 400 works of art on display at any one time.
Dunkeld Cathedral
The history of Dunkeld can be traced to the ninth century when it emerged as an important religious centre for the early Celtic Church. No building of this period survives, the present Cathedral dates from 1318. Partly destroyed during the Reformation (1560), the choir is roofed and now serves as the parish church for regular Sunday worship.
The rest of the cathedral is ruinous, but is preserved as an Ancient Monument in the care of Historic Scotland, who are also responsible for the grounds.
