Dunkeld & Birnam Farmers' Market
Last updated 15 May 2026
A small Highland Perthshire market in one of Scotland's most attractive small towns. Dunkeld sits at the gateway to the Highlands on the A9, making the market a practical stop for anyone heading north. The producers are local — Highland Perthshire estates supply venison and game, nearby farms provide organic vegetables and free-range eggs, and several cottage-scale producers sell honey, preserves, and baking. The town itself is worth exploring: the Dunkeld & Birnam walk along the River Tay, the cathedral, and a surprising number of good independent shops.
