Spring Road Trip Drive From Dundee To Visit Parish Church In Abernyte Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Spring travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive West on the A90 road then North on the B953 road to visit the historic parish church and graveyard in Abernyte, Perthshire. The church is cruciform in shape. It stands on the site of a pre Reformation church. It was been renovated in 1672, then largely rebuilt in in 1736 by David Smart, a Dundee mason and James Morris, a local wright. In 1870 the architect Thomas Saunders Robertson extended and remodelled the church. He added a chancel to its south side, extended the north transept into what became a nave, and turned the ends of the 1736 church into east and west transepts. The end result was the Gothic styled, cruciform church you see today. The surrounding churchyard is home to some early 18th century gravestones. The A90 road originates in Edinburgh, it the travels west and over the Forth Road Bridge, before turning into the M90 motorway. At Perth, the M90 again becomes the A90, now running north east to Dundee and through the Kingsway road system. It then passes Forfar, Brechin, Stracathro, the site of an ancient Roman Camp, Stonehaven, Bridge of Muchalls, where the Burn of Muchalls flows under, near Muchalls Castle, near Saint Ternan's Church, Newtonhill, Portlethen, from there through the city of Aberdeen, crossing the Ythan Estuary, on to Peterhead on its way to Fraserburgh.
