We are home after a relaxing short break in Perthshire and Angus
The weather today was beautiful. Sunny and hot.
We left after breakfast and drove to Dunblane. While my better half shopped, I visited Dunblane Cathedral. The connection with St Blane and Dunblane is unclear. St Blane actually lived on the Isle of Bute (Rothesay).We have viited the ruined Monastery there, hidden in a valley in the hills to keep it safe from Viking raiders.
The cathedral was interesting. So also was the nearby oldest private library in Scotland. It was founded by Robert Leighton, Bishop of Dunblane from 1661 till 1670. He left it for the use of the clergy of the area.
