Tour Scotland 4K snow travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive on a single track road on history visit to the Scottish Highlands. This road is only wide enough for one vehicle. It has special passing places. If you see a vehicle coming towards you, or the driver behind wants to overtake, try to pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite a passing place on your right. Give way to vehicles coming uphill whenever you can. If necessary, reverse until you reach a passing place to let the other vehicle pass. This is Clan Donnachaidh country meaning, children of Duncan, who were descended from the Celtic Earls of Atholl, who in turn were from a line of the kings of Dalriada. Stout Duncan was a minor landowner and clan chief in Highland Perthshire in the early 1300’s. Although the clan appears to have been loyal to the Bruce and Stewart royal dynasties, they also earned a reputation as raiders and feuders in medieval Scotland. The change of name can be dated to the fourth chief of Clann Dhonnchaidh, Robert Riabhach, Grizzled Duncanson. It was Robert who tracked down, and brought to justice, the murderers of King James I in 1437. The Robertsons were involved in both the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite Uprisings. During the 18th and early 19th centuries the Robertson Chiefs refused to clear their fellow clansmen in favour of the more profitable sheep. Clan motto is Garg ‘n uair dhuisgear meaing fierce when roused. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March.
