Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish music, a snow, sometimes icy, road trip drive, on the B934 road over the Ochil Hills on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to 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 B934 road heads north, narrowing to a single track road almost immediately. The road then runs alongside the River Devon, Scottish Gaelic: Duibhe, a tributary of the River Forth, in Glendevon, for a short distance before crossing it and continuing along a narrow valley. It soon becomes wooded as the valley becomes shallower. The road continues into the hills along the mountain pass. The Ochil Hills, Scottish Gaelic: Monadh Ochail, is a range of hills in Scotland north of the Forth valley bordered by the towns of Stirling, Alloa, Kinross, Auchterarder and Perth. The Ochils are formed from a thick wedge of Devonian age volcanic and volcano-sedimentary rocks, rising up from below the lower Old Red Sandstone sedimentary rocks to the north and terminated to the south by the major southerly down throwing Ochil Fault. Ancient folklore and historical documentation suggests that the Ochils once were inhabited by the Picts, or at least that a few Pictish settlements existed in the Ochil Hills. Another item of folklore existing in the Ochil Hills is Katie Thirsty's Well, a sacred well shrouded in mythology. 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 in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip.
