Dunblane Cathedral

The village of Dunblane, in the center of Scotland, owes its existence to the the significance it had in earlier times as the Dunblane Cathedral. It is not a typical cathedral, but it got its title because of its location and religious significance in Medieval times. It is the most significant and visited monument in the village. The cathedral was constructed between the years1150 and 1233, when it was completed by Clement, Archbishop of the diocese. Its name is due to St. Blane (Old Scotch Dun means Don, so that the possible translation of the name could be "the gift of Blane" meaning gift as divine capacity or ability, being a saint.
