Tour Scotland Winter night 4K short travel video of outdoor Christmas lights, on visit to a two storey house in Scone by Perth, Perthshire. Christmas lights, also known informally as fairy lights, are lights used for decoration in preparation for Christmas and for display throughout Christmastide. The custom goes back to the use of candles to decorate the Christmas tree in Christian homes in early modern Germany. The first known electrically illuminated Christmas tree was the creation of Edward H. Johnson, an associate of inventor Thomas Edison, on December 22, 1882 at his home on Fifth Avenue in New York City, USA. The winter solstice of 2021 occurs today Dec. 21, 2021, marking the official beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and it brings good news: From tomorrow on, days will start getting longer again, taking us out of the darkness as we slowly head towards Spring. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
