Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing The Burning Of Strathearn jacobite song on ancestry visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. The Jacobites, retreating through Strathearn, burned many of the villages, inflicting great hardships on the peaceful inhabitants by rendering them houseless during the rigour of Winter. Strathearn or Strath Earn, from Scottish Gaelic: Srath Èireann, is the strath of the River Earn, in Scotland, extending from Loch Earn in the West to the River Tay in the east. The region formed a traditional province of Scotland, and hence had a mormaer and then an Earl. The province was bounded on the north by Atholl, north west by Breadalbane, south west by Menteith, south east by Fife, and on the east by Perth.
