Tour Scotland Video Early Winter Drive On Ben Lawers To Bridge Of Balgie Road Highlands

Tour Scotland video of part of an early Winter road trip drive on the single track road, with passing places, from below Ben Lawers mountain to Bridge of Balgie, on visit to the Southern part of the Scottish Highlands of Perthshire, Scotland. Prior to the 14th century this area was part of the lands of Clan MacMillan. The land was confiscated from the Chalmers family in 1473 by King James III and given to Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy after Thomas Chalmers was implicated in the murder of King James I. The road while open today is often closed after heavy snowfall. A single track road or one lane road is a road that permits two way travel but is not wide enough in most places to allow vehicles to pass one another, although sometimes two compact cars can pass. This kind of road is common in rural areas across the United Kingdom and elsewhere. The term is widely used in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands and Islands.
