John Everett Millais, who painted many local landscapes, and Beatrix Potter, with her family, often visited the village. The ancient history of the Birnam name begins with the ancient AngloSaxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the family resided in the parish named Barnham in Hampshire, England. The name was derived from the Old English words beorg, meaning hill, and ham, meaning homestead. Variations of the name Birnam include Barnham, Barnhum, Barnum, Barnam, Barnhem, Barnem and others. Birnam is approximately one hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, and two hours from Inverness in the Highlands by car.. 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. . Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip.
