Tour Scotland 4K short Winter travel video clip of an outdoor Christmas lights Salmon on Tay Street by the River Tay on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Salmon fishing is the most important fishery on the River Tay and its tributaries. Salmon are fished for throughout the length of the Tay from Perth upstream. Many of the fish caught are actually landed in its many tributaries like the Isla, Tummel, Lyon, Dochart and Earn, all fine salmon rivers in their own right. The River Tay, Scottish Gaelic: Tatha, is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh longest in the United Kingdom. The Tay originates in western Scotland on the slopes of Ben Lui mountain, Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laoigh, then flows easterly across the Highlands, through Loch Dochart, Loch Iubhair and Loch Tay, then continues east through Strathtay, in the centre of Scotland, then south east through Perth, where it becomes tidal, to its mouth at the Firth of Tay, south of Dundee in Tayside. 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.
