The tourist post - part two

[catspaw]

Next, we went to Dunblane Cathedral.



Another really imposing building, even more remarkable since it's lasted so well: it lay without a roof on the main part of it for about 300 years before being restored by the Victorians.



Inside, it's absolutely glorious: here's the view from the rear of the Cathedral towards the choir.



Behind the Cathedral runs the Allan Water, which is a cheerful, tumbling little bit of water in places, punctuated with lovely clear, calm stretches. It's in a very steep glen.



And from the path that runs alongside the water, there are lovely views of the Cathedral towering above you

This may be a dumb question but why was the church empty? Was it in-between services?

Lovely pics, as usual!

Probably empty because it was around 3pm on a Thursday *g*. There were only a couple of other visitors there anyway, it was quite easy to get pics without them in shot.
