Tour Scotland Travel Video Summer Drive To Balhousie Castle Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland Summer travel video of a road trip drive through the city to the Regimental Headquarters and Museum of The Black Watch on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Balhousie Castle is located on Hay Street, originally a few hundred metres north of the medieval town, dates to 1631, though its origins are believed to go back a further three hundred years. It originally served as the seat of the Earls of Kinnoull, and stood within a walled enclosure on a terrace overlooking the North Inch Park. After falling into neglect in the early 19th century, the Castle was rebuilt, and extensively remodelled on a larger scale in 1862 in the Baronial style by the architect David Smart. In 1962, the Castle became the Regimental Headquarters and Museum of The Black Watch.
