Tour Scotland Autumn Video Drive To Birnam Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of a morning road trip drive on ancestry history visit to Birnam, Perthshire. Birnam lies on the bank of the River Tay, in Perthshire’s Big Tree Country and is located 12 miles north of Perth on the A9 road, the main tourist route through Highland Perthshire. The town originated from the Victorian era with the coming of the railway in 1856, although the place and name is well known because William Shakespeare mentioned Birnam Wood in Macbeth. Prior to the construction of the railway, the only substantial building on the site of the present village was the church of Little Dunkeld parish, which still stands in its ancient position within a graveyard within the village. Birnam is approximately one hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, and two hours from Inverness by car.
