Tour Scotland 4K Autumn video travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive through the city of Dundee and then North on the B954 road through Auchterhouse after which the road climbs into the Sidlaw Hills where the road finds a pass to go through so the gradient is not steep, although the road is rather winding in places on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Angus, Scottish Gaelic: Aonghas in Britain, United Kingdom. The county or area was anciently called Angus after the brother of King Kenneth II to whom it was granted by the king after his victory over the Picts. Kenneth II, Cináed mac Maíl Coluim, son of King Malcolm I became King when Culen was killed, but faced a challenge from Culen’s brother Olaf. The challenge was ended when Kenneth had Olaf killed in 977. Kenneth submitted to King Edgar of England at Chester in 973 and in return was granted kingship of Lothian. He pushed the borders south into territory previous occupied by the Northumbrians. He was said to be killed near Fettercairn by Fenella, daughter of the Mormar of Angus, in revenge for killing her son.. Angus was later called Forfarshire after the county town of Forfar and the name changed back to Angus in 1928. 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.
