Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish accordion music, of a road trip drive on rural country roads on visit to Balbeggie, Perthshire. Dreich is a Scots word for dull and cloudy weather. At the end of the 18th Century, the land on which Balbeggie village was to take shape was owned by Andrew Murray of Murrayshall. It was an insignificant place on the Scone to Abernyte road and probably comprised only a few crofts and cottages. John Inches was a weaver who was born in Lethendy parish in 1789. He was an established resident of Balbeggie by 1828, when he appeared as a procurator or advocate on behalf of John McGregor and his wife Mary Spence for the purchase of their land at Balbeggie Cottage. He remained a bachelor and probably lived in the same house, along with his 3 unmarried sisters, until his death in 1866.
