Tour Scotland Video Tron Jougs Meikleour Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of the Tron and Jougs on ancestry visit to Meikleour in Perthshire, Scotland. A Joug was an iron ring, fastened by a chain to a wall, post, or tree, in which an offender was held by the neck: common in Scotland from the 16th to 18th century. The tron, to which jougs are still attached, stands in the centre of Meikleour. The tron is a rusticated obelisk with a hole near its pointed top, surmounted by a tall spike usually with a weather vane. The jougs are attached to its South face. The obelisk stands on a flat-topped mound.
