(8000 in 1991) Town in the Tayside Region, with a cathedral founded by *David I in 1150. Much altered over the centuries, it is now the parish church. It stands on the site of an earlier Celtic monastery, of which there survives the impressive *round tower adjoining the cathedral. This was built, probably by Irish masons, in the late 10C.
