The Parish of Dunkeld Handbell Ringers

Some of the handbell group taken in The Cross, Dunkeld

 

The group was formed in October, 2002 and is now one of the largest and most active groups in Scotland. They have performed throughout Perthshire and beyond, ringing in Nursing Homes, Day Centres and Garden Centres, for Guilds, Rurals, Craft Fairs, Flower Festivals and have participated in Church services. They have been recorded for Hospital Radio Perth and provided entertainment at such notable venues as Perth Concert Hall, Scone Palace and Dundee Flower Show. Since its formation, the group has raised over £1000 each year for the benefit of local charities.

The group is led by Heather I McLean who is also one of the country's few handbell soloists. Heather is in much demand for solo performances and rings in Dunkeld Cathedral on Wednesday afternoons throughout the summer.
