Tour Scotland travel video of a cloudy Autumn road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, East on the A926 road to 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.
Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
