Tour Scotland video of part of a September morning drive North on the A93 road from Perth on ancestry visit to Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland. On the left hand side of road at the start of the video the drive goes past the Meikleour Beech Hedge which was planted in the autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge on earth.
