Tour Scotland Travel Video Winter Drive Quarrymill Woodland Park Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland Winter travel video of a road trip drive from Rose Terrace to Quarrymill Woodland Park on visit to the Fair City of Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. We drive past the Old Academy Building on Rose Terrace. Perth Academy first appears in 1542 when it was founded by the town council, still making Perth Academy one of the oldest schools in Scotland. Designed by Robert Reid, later the King’s architect, work on this building was started in October 1803, and finished for the start of the teaching year in 1807. Sandstone extraction and weaving at Quarrymill was well underway by the 18th Century when there were numerous mills spinning cotton, extracting starch from potatoes for use in weaving and the textile industry and grinding bone to use in dyes and fertilisers.
