Tour Scotland Winter New Year's Day travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish fiddle music, from Scone to cross Smeatons Bridge on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. New Year's Day, also simply called New Year or New Year's, is observed on 1 January, the first day of the year. Sunday, 1 January, 2023. Perth Bridge, also known as Smeaton's Bridge, locally, the Old Bridge and in the local dialect of Scots, The Auld Brig, is a toll free bridge that spans the River Tay, connecting Perth, on the western side of the river, to Bridgend, on its eastern side, carrying both automotive and pedestrian traffic of West Bridge Street. The bridge was completed in October 1771. The engineer of its construction was John Smeaton, after whom the bridge is named. An increase in traffic resulted in the bridge being widened in 1869. 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. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip.
