Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on the B867 route and then North of the A9 road to the Telford Bridge over the River Tay on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dunkeld, Highland Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Dunkeld Bridge spans the the River Tay between Dunkeld and Birnam. It was built in 1809 by Thomas Telford. The River Tay, Scottish Gaelic: Tatha, is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh longest in the United Kingdom. The Tay originates in western Scotland on the slopes of Ben Lui, Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laoigh, then flows easterly across the Highlands, through Loch Dochart, Loch Iubhair and Loch Tay, then continues east through Strathtay, in the centre of Scotland, then southeasterly through Dunkeld and Perth, where it becomes tidal, to its mouth at the Firth of Tay, south of Dundee. Thomas Telford the builder of this bridge was born the son of a shepherd at Westerkirk, near Langholm, Dumfriesshire in August 1757. 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
