Tour Scotland travel video of an early Spring road trip drive, with Scottish accordion music, East on the A91 road through Dollar on ancestry visit to Muckhart, Clackmannanshire. Muckhart, Scottish Gaelic: Muc-Àird, commonly refers to two small villages in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, Pool of Muckhart, Scottish Gaelic: Poll Mhuc-Àird, and Yetts o' Muckhart. Muckhart is one of the Hillfoots Villages, situated on the A91 around 3 miles north east of Dollar. Previously Muckhart, together with Glendevon, formed the southernmost tip of Perthshire. It was transferred to Clackmannanshire in a reorganisation of boundaries in 1971.
Dollar, Scottish Gaelic: Dolair, was once a place of residence of Mary, Queen of Scots. Dollar is twinned with the French town of La Ville aux Dames, which lies just outside Tours in the Loire Valley. The poet Robert Burns visited Craufurd Tait in Dollar in 1787, staying on the Harviestoun estate. There he was inspired to write the song The Banks of Devon.
