Tour Scotland travel video of an Autumn road trip drive, with Scottish music, West through Lower Glenalmond or Glen Almond, Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Amain, a glen which stretches for several miles to the west of the city of Perth in Perth and Kinross, and down which the River Almond flows on visit to rural Perthshire. The origins of the name Almond comes from the Anglo Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from the Old English personal name Æthelmund. This name is composed of two elements: Æthel, which means noble, and mund, which means protection. However, the surname Almond may also derive from the Old French word aleman, which means German. The surname Almond has been spelled many different ways, including Almond, Almonde, Almont, Almon and others. Almond was first found in the counties of Yorkshire and Northumberland, England. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
