Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of road trip drive, with Scottish fiddle music, on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to the recently trimmed Beech Hedge by Meikleour, Perthshire. Meikleour Beech Hedge was planted in the Autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge in the world.
