Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of Kinnoull Tower, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire. This Scottish tower was built in 1829 by Lord Grey of Kinfauns as a romantic folly, the tower, along with nearby Binn Tower, originally used as an observatory by Grey, are meant to resemble the castles on the Rhine in Germany as Grey saw a great similarity between the River Tay and parts of the Rhine. The tower is easily accessible via a footpath. From the south facing cliff summit of Kinnoull hill, views are afforded of the River Tay, the Friarton Bridge, and a stretch of the Tay Coast railway line. Further to the south, Moncreiffe Hill can be seen. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
