The site has been holy ground since about 730AD when Celtic missionaries built the first monastery. The Cathedral twice suffered desecration and destruction during Scotland's turbulent history. In 1560 it was affected badly by the Reformation - anything considered "Popish" was destroyed. The chancel was repaired and re-roofed in 1600 to serve as Dunkeld's parish church. To this day it is still used by the Church of Scotland for Sunday services and weddings. More at http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dunkeld/cathedral/index.html
