Autumn Pass Of Killiecrankie Highland Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of Autumn leaves and trees at the gorge on the River Garry at the Pass Of Killiecrankie, Scottish Gaelic: Coille Chneagaidh, on ancestry visit to the Highlands of Perthshire. The Battle of Killiecrankie, Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Choille Chnagaidh, also referred to as the Battle of Rinrory by contemporaries, took place on 27 July 1689 during the First Jacobite Rising between a Jacobite force of Scots and Irish and those of the new Williamite government. The Jacobites won a stunning victory but suffered heavy casualties, their commander, John Graham, Viscount Dundee, being killed in the final minutes. Killiecrankie is one of the famous names of Scotland, renowned both for its history and its scenery. The Pass of Killiecrankie lies three miles north of Pitlochry, and for a mile threads the deep, steep, thickly wooded gorge of the River Garry, between a spur of Ben Vrackie and Tenandry Hill, with the village at the north end.
