It carries the pedestrian and vehicle traffic of Bridge Street and connects the parishes of Dunkeld and Dowally to the north and Little Dunkeld to the south. A Category A listed structure, it is 685 feet (209 m) long, 26.5 feet (8 m) wide and 54 feet (16 m) high. Its middle arch is 90 feet (27 m) wide, two others are 84 feet (26 m), two more are 74 feet (23 m) and the land-arches are 20 feet (6 m). The pontage was abolished in 1879.

Built between 1260 and 1501, the Cathedral is surprisingly large for such a small village. It's partly ruined but still holds services. It has lovely riverside grounds, which stretch to Dunkeld House Hotel. The attached Chapter House Museum features relics from monastic and medieval times, as well as an insight into local history.
The largest of the chain of shallow, reedy, peaty "Lunan Lochs", Loch of the Lowes is a wildlife reserve with ospreys (Apr-Aug), beavers (May-Aug), red squirrels (Mar-Nov) and many other resident birds, and migratory birds especially early winter. There's an observation hide (always open) 200 yards from the osprey nest. Dogs are welcome on the reserve, but only guide dogs in the visitor centre or hides.
