Spring Road Trip Drive To Alyth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Spring travel travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Alyth, Perthshire. Alyth is located on a burn, or small river, which bears its name and owes its position to a confluence of drovers' roads used by hill farmers to bring their sheep and cattle down to market. A picturesque 17th century packhorse bridge is among a number of stone bridges crossing the burn in the town. Alyth was granted a Charter by King James III in 1488, raising Alyth to the rank of Burgh of Barony with the right to hold markets and fairs.
