Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of the River Tummel, Scottish Gaelic: Uisge Theimhei, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Kinloch Rannoch, Highland Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The river begins at the East end of Loch Rannoch and flows under Kinloch Rannoch Bridge on its way to Loch Tummel. The bridge across the River Tummel in Kinloch Rannoch is an interesting 4 Arch stone structure dating back to 1764. It was built, as so many in the Highlands were, with funds raised from the sale of the forfeited estates after the Jacobite Rebellions. The bridge is a tall structure, spanning a wide fast flowing river, although the flow is somewhat moderated today by the Hydro-electric schemes upstream. Of the four arches, the northern seems to be a flood arch, with only a shallow flow when the river was otherwise full. The remaining three span the main stream, with piers supported by substantial cut waters. The date stone on the middle of the bridge also mentions that the bridge was rebuilt, and the date appears to be 1949. The ancient name of the river, in its upper reaches at least, was the Dubhag. 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.
