Tour Scotland 4K early Autumn travel video, with Scottish fiddle music, of a road trip drive, West on a single track road with passing places on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Cathedral in Dunblane, a town in the council area of Stirling, Britain, United Kingdom. The Cathedral was once the seat of the bishops of Dunblane, also sometimes called of Strathearn, until the abolition of bishops after the Scottish Reformation. There are remains of the vaults of the episcopal palace to the south of the cathedral. Technically, it is no longer a cathedral, as there are no bishops in the Church of Scotland, which is a Presbyterian denomination. William Chisholme, the last Catholic bishop of Dunblane in 1561, later became bishop of Vaison in France. The cathedral contains the graves of Margaret Drummond of Stobhall, a mistress of King James IV of Scotland and her two sisters, all said to have been poisoned. This road is only wide enough for one vehicle. It has some 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. When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip. 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.
