Tour Scotland Travel Video Winter Road Trip Drive To Glen Prosen Angus

Tour Scotland travel video Blog of a long road trip drive, with music, on single track Scottish roads on ancestry visit to the village of Glen Prosen in the Braes of Angus, Scotland. Before the first World War, Prosen was a village with nearly 50 homes, a water powered corn and sawmill, a school, pub, post office and blacksmith. Today, few of the homes that existed on the eve of war are left. Following the the end of the war, 25 men chose not to come back to a life of drudgery to work for the estates, depriving the glen of bloodlines. For the men who did come back, life resumed much as before, with long hours and isolation. But people continued to leave from Prosen and hundreds of other glens, often to the west of Scotland, sometimes for a new life in Australia, Canada and others parts of the world. Glen Prosen is located between Glen Isla and Glen Clova. There is no road through to the north, only hill tracks. But vehicles can make a circular route from Kirriemuir by coming up the glen via Cortachy, crossing the Prosen river at Spott, and descending again via Pearsie.
