Autumn Visit To Rumbling Bridge Falls River Braan Highland Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of the waterfall at Rumbling Bridge near Dunkeld on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire. The old stone bridge spans the gorge high above the deep, rocky narrows and takes its name from the ferocious rumbling of the River Braan below. The eminent Victorian English painter, Sir John Everett Millais, born 8 June 1829, died 13 August 1896, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, stayed at Rumbling Bridge Cottage in the 1870’s when he visited Perthshire on a hunting and fishing trip and two of his landscape pictures The Sound of Many Waters and St Martin's Summer were inspire by the River Braan. Queen Victoria had also been enthused when she visited the bridge in 1865 and wrote that the flow was most splendid and that swollen by rain, it came down with an immense volume of water, with a deafening noise. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
