To mark Earth Hour the Cathedral floodlights will be switched off at 8.30pm. on March 26th. It is a moment when we can show we care for the planet and its future. This may seem like a small, insignificant gesture, but it is a reminder that we have to look after this magnificent world we have been given and not take it for granted.

Dunkeld Cathedral is participating in Earth Hour on 26 March by switching off the Church floodlights.
Historic Environment Scotland have participated in Earth Hour for many years with various of our national heritage sites switching off the lights as part of the WWF organised annual event to raise awareness of the climate crisis. The inclusion of Dunkeld Cathedral it is thanks to the church of Scotland agreeing to take part and to be involved under the HES umbrella.
We’re still waiting for confirmation on what other sites will be participating as safety of our staff and the communities within which our sites are located remain the most important consideration during the ongoing pandemic.
If you want to get involved you can find out more information on the Earth Hour Scotland website: https://www.wwf.org.uk/scotland/earthhour. People are asked to turn off the lights for an hour from 8:30-9:30pm.
You can also use this as an opportunity to find out about the environmental challenges our planet faces.
