Tour Scotland 4K short Winter travel video clip of the White Church by the River Earn on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Comrie, Strathearn, Perthshire. The White Church, the former parish kirk, with its prominent tower and spire is situated on the roadside of the ancient churchyard at the heart of the village. This is an early Christian site, dedicated to the obscure early Saint Kessog or Mokessog, who may have flourished in the 8th century. The River Earn, Scottish Gaelic: Uisge Èireann, leaves Loch Earn at St Fillans and runs east through Strathearn, then east and south, joining the River Tay near Abernethy. The Earn is about 46 miles long. It passes by Comrie, Crieff and Bridge of Earn. Near to the River Earn lay the ancient Strageath Roman Camp. This camp was one of a series of camps used by the Romans to construct their invasion of the north; other notable camps in this chain are Ardoch, Stracathro, Battledykes, Raedykes and Normandykes. The river is popular for walking, and the banks are accessible at many points. One of the most popular walks is a route along the north bank at Crieff known as Lady Mary's Walk. Fishing is available on many sections of the river. The Earn forms part of the area of the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board.
