Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on the B934 road over the Ochil Hills on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The B934 road starts on the A823 to the north of Yetts o' Muckhart and heads north, narrowing to a single track road almost immediately. The road then runs alongside the River Devon, Scottish Gaelic: Duibhe, a tributary of the River Forth, in Glendevon, for a short distance before crossing it and continuing along a narrow valley. It soon becomes wooded as the valley becomes shallower. The road continues into the hills along the mountain pass. As it reaches the summit the road bends sharply right then left again before starting to descend just as gently as the climb. The valleys on this side seem to be wider than those on the climb, so the road has more space to manoeuvre. Eventually things open out completely and the road descends. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
