Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive West on the A984 old military road and down Brae Street and across the High Street on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the centre of Dunkeld, Highland Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Most of the original town of Dunkeld was destroyed during the Battle of Dunkeld when, in August 1689, the 26th Foot, Cameronian Regiment, successfully fought the Jacobites shortly after their victory at the Battle of Killiecrankie. The rebuilt town is one of the most complete 18th century country towns in Scotland, On the site of the traditional market cross, the fanciful neo-Gothic Atholl Memorial Fountain was built in 1866, as a monument to George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl. The Fountain is notable for its heraldry and Masonic symbolism, the 6th Duke having been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. 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. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip
