Tour Scotland Video Heather Garden Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a Heather garden on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Heather is seen as iconic of Scotland, where the plant grows widely. When poems like Bonnie Auld Scotland speak of " fragrant hills of purple heather ", when the hero of Kidnapped flees through the heather, when heather and Scotland are linked in the same sentence, the heather talked about is Calluna vulgaris. A poem written by Robert Louis Stevenson, Heather Ale: A Galloway Legend, tells a story of a long forgotten drink of heather ale.
