Tour Scotland Video Early Autumn Drive From Caputh To Dunkeld Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of an early Autumn drive West from Caputh on the A984 old military road and down Brae Street and across the High Street on ancestry visit to the centre of Dunkeld, Highland, Perthshire, Scotland. Most of the original town of Dunkeld was destroyed during the Battle of Dunkeld when, in August 1689, the 26th Foot, Cameronian Regiment, successfully fought the Jacobites shortly after their victory at the Battle of Killiecrankie. The rebuilt town is one of the most complete 18th century country towns in Scotland, On the site of the traditional market cross, the fanciful neo-Gothic Atholl Memorial Fountain was built in 1866, as a monument to George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl. The Fountain is notable for its heraldry and Masonic symbolism, the 6th Duke having been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Scotland.
