Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive on a narrow Scottish road on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Parish Church in Lunan in Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. The current parish church at Lunan was built in 1844 on the site of, or very close to, a medieval predecessor mentioned in around 1200 and dedicated in 1242. The current church is a small Romanesque-style structure with sandstone ashlar walls and slate roofs. It is surrounded by a long, narrow graveyard. The name Lunan has a long Anglo-Saxon heritage. The name comes from when a family lived in an area that was referred to as the laund, which was Old Norman word meaning the open space in a forest or the lawn. There were a number of locations in England with this place name including Yorkshire and Lancashire. The surname Lunan was first found in Yorkshire at Lund, a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Many variations of the name Lunan have been found, including Lund, Lun, Lunn, Lwn, Lunt and others. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. This road is only wide enough for one vehicle. 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
