Tour Scotland travel video of an Autumn road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, on the A93 road from Meikleour Beech Hedge to visit Blairgowrie, Perthshire. Located near Meikleour, alongside the Perth to Blairgowrie Road, the hedge was planted in the autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge on earth, reaching one hundred feet in height and one third of a mile in length. The hedge is trimmed once every ten years but remains viewable to visitors all year round. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
