Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of Glenshee Parish Church and graveyard and trees on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Spittal of Glenshee, Scottish Gaelic: Spideal Ghlinn Sìdh, at the head of Glenshee in the highlands of Eastern Perthshire. The name Glenshee comes from the Gaelic word shith which signifies fairies and also means peace. The present church replaced an older Chapel of Ease. It is said by locals that the new Church was originally to have been built at Runavey but the fairies did not approve of this and when the masons started building they came by night and pulled down what had been built up and this was continued night after night until the committee realised the futility of opposing the wishes of the faerie folks and the church was built on the spot of the previous house of worship. This Church located at Spittal of Glenshee, has become very popular with couples wishing a Highland weddings. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American English. Built on land once occupied by a Franciscan friary founded in around 1460, the graveyard has been restored and contains a number of Scottish headstones dating back hundreds of years. 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
