Train Journey With Bagpipes Music To Loch Treig On History Visit To Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a train journey to Loch Treig, on ancestry, genealogy, history, visit to the Scottish Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Loch Treig is a 5 mile long freshwater loch situated in a steep sided glen located 12 miles East of Fort William, in Lochaber. While there are no roads alongside the loch, the West Highland Railwaty Line follows its eastern bank. Since 1929 Loch Treig has been a reservoir which required diversion of the West Highland Railway. The increase in water level following the construction of the dam submerged the hamlets of Kinlochtreig and Creaguaineach at the loch's southern end, which were stopping points on a cattle drovers road along the Road to the Isles, which linked up Lochaber and the Inner Hebrides to markets in Perthshire in the South.
