Tour Scotland Video Autumn Drive From Dundee Through Perth To Scone Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of an Autumn road trip drive West from Riverside Drive under the River Tay railway bridge in Dundee then onto the A90 road through Perth to visit the village of Scone, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish road originates in Edinburgh, it the travels west and over the Forth Road Bridge, before turning into the M90 motorway. At Perth, the M90 again becomes the A90, now running north east to Dundee and through the Kingsway road system. It then passes Forfar, Brechin, Stracathro, the site of an ancient Roman Camp, Stonehaven, Bridge of Muchalls, where the Burn of Muchalls flows under, near Muchalls Castle, near Saint Ternan's Church, Newtonhill, Portlethen, from there through the city of Aberdeen, crossing the Ythan Estuary, on to Peterhead on its way to Fraserburgh. Scone village was built in 1805 as a planned village by its landowner, and was originally called New Scone. The medieval village of Scone, which grew up around the monastery and royal residence of the Palace, was abandoned in the early 19th century when the residents were removed and a new palace was built on the site by the Earl of Mansfield. Hence the modern village of Scone, and the medieval village of Old Scone, can often be distinguished.
