Road Trip Drive Through Kinross To Friarton Bridge Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of an Autumn road trip drive North up the M90 motorway, with Scottish music, through Kinross all the way to Friarton Bridge to visit Perth, Perthshire. Kinross grew as a staging post on the man road north to Perth and beyond, and as the county town of Kinross-shire. The town's more recent history has been primarily an industrial one. In the early 1700s there were 320 weavers, 35 cutlers, 22 shoemakers and 10 iron workers in a population of around 600 people. By 1860 over 600 people were employed in local wool weaving companies. Friarton bridge spans the River Tay and forms part of the important east coast road corridor from Edinburgh through to Dundee and Aberdeen. in the distance you can see Kinnoull Hill a popular walking area by Perth. I often drive this road when returning to Scone from Fife or Edinburgh. The M90 is a motorway in Scotland that runs from junction 1a of the M9, south of the Queensferry Crossing, to Perth, passing Dunfermline and Kinross on the way. It is the most northerly motorway in the United Kingdom
