Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of a road trip drive West, with Scottish music, from Perth to Methven, then North on College Road on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Glenalmond or Glen Almond. Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Amain, a glen which stretches for several miles to the West of the city of Perth, Perthshire, and to the River Almond at Buchanty. The river flows through a succession of turbulent gorges at this location having started its journey on the moors and mountains to the south of Loch Tay. On their remarkable journey, salmon make their way back from the ocean to the rivers and follow them upstream. During this time, there are ferocious currents to battle through and waterfalls to ascend, some several metres in height. Salmon propel themselves up and out of the water to tackle the toughest bits of river, their pectoral fins tucked in to ensure they are streamlined as they leap from the water and launch themselves into the gushing torrents of river rapids. While it looks like it is a struggle, the swollen rivers provide them with enough depth to swim through the water. Salmon tend to be more active in the early morning and evening so time your visit to make the most of your salmon spotting. The best sightings tend to be in October and November. When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American English
