Our The original Diocese of Dunkeld covered a vast area, including much of what would later become the Diocese of Argyll. It also embraced churches with strong connections to the ancient Columban tradition, linking our diocese to some of Scotland’s earliest Christian communities.
One of the most significant landmarks in our history is the original Dunkeld Cathedral, built between 1220 and 1500 in the beautiful Perthshire town of Dunkeld. Although parts of the cathedral fell into ruin following the Reformation, its story lives on.
Under the leadership of Bishop Andrew McKenzie, the 10th Bishop of the restored Diocese of Dunkeld, we continue to build on this extraordinary heritage while embracing the opportunities of a changing world. Our diocese is more than its buildings, history or boundaries. It is a living community of people, united by faith and inspired to make a difference.
Across our parishes, schools and communities, Catholics of every generation are finding new ways to live the Gospel — through prayer, friendship, service, outreach and care for those who need us most. We are proud of where we have come from, but equally excited about where we are going. Young people, families and everyone exploring their faith have an important place in shaping the next chapter of our story.
