Winter Smeaton's Bridge River Tay Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Winter afternoon 4K travel video of sleet and snow falling, the day after Storm Ciara, by Smeaton's Bridge which spans the River Tay on visit to Perth, Perthshire. John Smeaton, architect of the Eddystone Lighthouse, was commissioned to build a new bridge at Perth. Smeaton's bridge was completed in 1771 and is generally known as Perth Bridge or by locals simply the Old Bridge. The River Tay, Scottish Gaelic: Tatha, is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh-longest in the United Kingdom. The Tay originates in western Scotland on the slopes of Ben Lui, Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laoigh, then flows easterly across the Highlands, through Loch Dochart, Loch Iubhair and Loch Tay, then continues east through Strathtay in the centre of Scotland, then southeasterly through Perth, where it becomes tidal, to its mouth at the Firth of Tay, south of Dundee.
