Tour Scotland 4K short Winter snow travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Loch Freuchie 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. Loch Freuchie is located in a sheltered location in Glen Quaich near the tiny hamlet of Amulree, West of Dunkeld. Along the shore line of Loch Freuchie there are several sites of ruined communities. Most of this development happened in the 18th century when the communities in Loch Tay were being cleared as a result of the new farming and tenancy agreements brought about by the Marquis of Breadalbane. The families however did not remain in Glen Quaich for long, many emigrating to Canada. In the early 1800s around three hundred crofters left the glen to resettle in Canada. After a three month voyage they colonised the Easthope area of Ontario and named their settlements Amulree and Glenquaich. Clans who once lived in this area and include Clan MacDonald, Clan Menzies, Clan MacGregor, Clan MacDougall, Clan Cameron, Clan Robertson, Clan Stewart, Clan Donnachaidh, Scottish Gaelic: Clann Donnchaidh and Clan Duncan. 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
