Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, North on the A9 road on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire. The town of Pitlochry, Baile Chloichridh or Baile Chloichrigh in Gaelic, is largely a Victorian town, which developed into a tourist resort due to Queen Victoria visiting the area in 1842, and the arrival of the railway in 1863. It remains a popular tourist resort today. The A9 is a major road running from central Scotland to Scrabster Harbour, Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness. At 273 miles, it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth longest A road in the United Kingdom. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats, and has been called the spine of Scotland. Drive with great care and patience on this road as it regularly appears in lists of Scotland's most dangerous roads. When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip.
