Tour Scotland 4K early Winter travel video, with Scottish fiddle music, of a cold road trip drive with some snow North on the A826 road to Aberfeldy on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit before Christmas to the Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. The A826 is a very barren road. It only goes through one town, and that is at one end in Aberfeldy. The road is twisty and bendy. On the way, you see Grandtully Hill, the small Loch na Creige and Glen Cochill. It is also a tourist route, being part of the Perthshire Tourist Route. In fact, it is all in the historic country of Perthshire. The A826 originated in the late 1720s as part of General Wade's Crieff to Inverness military road. This route started as the A822 in Crieff, followed the A826 into Aberfeldy. Beyond its association with Robert Burns, who mentioned Aberfeldy in his poem The Birks of Aberfeldy, . Aberfeldy is also mentioned in the traditional Loch Tay Boat Song. Aberfeldie, the suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia was named, indirectly, after the town, as was the locality of Aberfeldy, Victoria. 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.
