Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, from the slip road near the small Scottish town of Milnathort, North on the M90 Motorway on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Bridge of Earn, Perthshire, Britain, United Kindom. Milnathort is situated at a crossroads, the form of the settlement is closely linked to the development of turnpike roads in the early 19th century. The M90 connects Edinburgh, via the Queensferry Crossing, to Perth and the north and north east of Scotland. The motorway first opened in 1964. As you move from the slip road on the junction towards the motorway itself, use your right indicator to make it clear to other road users that you intend to merge with motorway traffic. Try to match your speed with that of the left hand lane traffic, then identify a suitable gap before merging. It's very important that you do not slow down dramatically or come to a halt as you approach the end of the slip road. Bridge of Earn is a small town in Perth and Kinross. Often referred to simply as The Brig, Scots word for bridge. The village grew up on the south bank of an important crossing of the River Earn, whose sandstone bridge existed from at least the early 14th century, when it is known to have been repaired by order of King Robert I of Scotland. The growth of the village in the 19th Century was linked to the popularity of nearby Pitkeathly Wells which ceased to function as a spa in 1949. Established during World War II to cope with an expected influx of casualties after the D-Day landings, Bridge of Earn Hospital was one of Perthshire's leading hospitals and a major source of employment until it was closed in 1993. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
