Spring Road Trip Drive On B934 Road Over Ochil Hills To Visit Dunning Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on the B934 road over the Ochil Hills to visit Dunning, Perthshire. The B934 road starts on the A823 to the north of Yetts o' Muckhart and heads north, narrowing to a single track road almost immediately. The road then runs alongside the River Devon, Scottish Gaelic: Duibhe, a tributary of the River Forth, in Glendevon, for a short distance before crossing it and continuing along a narrow valley. It soon becomes wooded as the valley becomes shallower. The road continues into the hills along the mountain pass. As it reaches the summit the road bends sharply right then left again before starting to descend just as gently as the climb. The valleys on this side seem to be wider than those on the climb, so the road has more space to manoeuvre. Eventually things open out completely and the road descends into Dunning. The village of Dunning was burned in 1716 by the Jacobite army. Strathearn or Strath Earn, from Scottish Gaelic: Srath Èireann, is the strath of the River Earn, extending from Loch Earn in the West to the River Tay in the east. The region formed a traditional province of Scotland, and hence had a mormaer and then an Earl. The province was bounded on the north by Atholl, north west by Breadalbane, south west by Menteith, south east by Fife, and on the east by Perthia. Royal dukedoms of Cumberland and Strathearn, of Kent and Strathearn and of Connaught and Strathearn have been awarded to members of the British Royal Family. Prince William was created Earl of Strathearn, as a subsidiary title to Duke of Cambridge, on 29 April 2011, the day of his wedding to Catherine Middleton. In medieval times, Strathearn was part of the region administered by the sheriff based at Perth. When 19th century local government reforms replaced the ancient provinces by new Counties (shires), based on sheriffdom boundaries, Strathearn, therefore, became the south-central part of Perthshire. As a result of late 20th century reforms, it is now part of Perth and Kinross All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
