Tour Scotland Spring, Easter Friday travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish accordion music, East from Lochearnhead on the A85 road to visit St Fillans in Perthshire. St Fillans lies at the eastern end of Loch Earn, 5 miles west of Comrie. St Fillans was a small clachan in the 18th century, known as Port of Lochearn, or Meikleport. In 1817 it was renamed St Fillans by Lord Gwydyr, the husband of Clementina Drummond, heiress to the Drummond Estate. Saint Fillan, Filan, Phillan, Fáelán, Old Irish, or Faolán, modern Gaeilge and Gàidhlig, is the name of probably two Scottish saints, of Irish origin. The St. Fillan whose feast is kept on 20 June had churches dedicated to his honour at Ballyheyland, County Laois, Ireland and at Loch Earn, Perthshire and Aberdour, Fife.
