Tour Scotland Travel Video Spring Sunday Afternoon Drive Through Glen Quaich Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of a Spring Sunday afternoon road trip drive on the single track road, with passing places, through Glen Quaich on visit to Highland, Perthshire, Scotland. A driver stopped to inform me that the road was blocked with snow drifts at higher elevations. 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 that were affected by the events of the 1830 clearances.
