Tour Scotland 4K short Winter travel video clip of an outdoor Christmas lights Reindeer by Perth Theatre on Mill Street on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Perth Theatre traces its history back to the 16th century and was in private hands until 1966, when it passed to the Scottish Arts Council. Two years later it was purchased by Perth Town Council. Today, the venue is run by Horsecross, a company which is backed by Perth and Kinross Council. The first repertory company in Scotland was established within the theatre in 1935. Actor Iain Cuthbertson was appointed artistic director in 1967 and Ewan McGregor began his career here in 1987. In traditional festive legend and popular culture, Santa Claus's reindeer are said to pull a sleigh through the night sky to help Santa Claus deliver gifts to children on Christmas Eve. The number of reindeer characters, and the names given to them, if any, vary in different versions, but those frequently cited in the United States are the eight listed in Clement Clarke Moore's 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, the work that is largely responsible for the reindeer becoming popularly known. In the poem the reindeers' names are given as Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen. The popularity of Robert L. May's 1939 storybook Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Gene Autry's 1949 Christmas song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, resulted in Rudolph often being included as the ninth character. Christmas lights, also known informally as fairy lights, are lights used for decoration in preparation for Christmas and for display throughout Christmastide. The custom goes back to the use of candles to decorate the Christmas tree in Christian homes in early modern Germany. The first known electrically illuminated Christmas tree was the creation of Edward H. Johnson, an associate of inventor Thomas Edison, on December 22, 1882 at his home on Fifth Avenue in New York City, USA. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. 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.
