Tour Scotland Video Early Winter Drive Glen Quaich Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of part of an early Winter road trip drive on the single track road, with passing places, through Glen Quaich on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Glen Quaich gets its name from the River Quaich which runs through it into Loch Freuchie. The clearances in Breadalbane, did not occur until the 1830’s, under the command of the Second Marquis of Breadalbane. In 1835, the factor, James Wyllie, had cleared the entire population of Glenquaich, with most Scots in the Glen taking flight by sea and populating lands in the new world, including the Huron settlement in Western Ontario and North Easthope, County of Perth, Ontario, Canada. There, they settled with other families from Amulree, Auchnafauld, Aberfeldy and Kenmore. All areas covered by the events of the 1830 clearances.
