Tour Scotland 4K travel video of a cloudy Winter road trip drive from Scone, through Balbeggie, Kinrossie, and Collace on ancestry visit to the Tolbooth Steeple Clock Tower in Coupar Angus, Perthshire. The building is a conspicuous landmark on the West side of Queen Street to the South of the town centre. It is believed to occupy the site of the prison of the regality of Coupar Angus, held originally by the Cistercian abbey and granted in 1607 to the ancestor of the Lords Balmerino. According to local tradition, the tenants of the house immediately to the north, which was partially used as a school, were responsible for feeding the prisoners. Food was passed through the ground floor window of the Steeple. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March. When driving in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip.
