Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video, with Scottish accordion music, of a road drive on a single track road to the bridge on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Kinloch Rannoch, Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kindom. The bridge across the River Tummel in Kinloch Rannoch was dates back to 1764. It was built, as so many in the Highlands were, with funds raised from the sale of the forfeited estates after the Jacobite Rebellions.The area around Kinloch Rannoch had seven different clans associated with it who were all involved in the Jacobite uprisings of 1746, including the Robertsons, Camerons, MacDougalls and Menzies. The MacGregor Clan were removed from the area and went into hiding. Formerly a tiny hamlet, Kinloch Rannoch, was enlarged and settled, under the direction of James Small, formerly an Ensign in Lord Loudoun’s Regiment, mainly by soldiers discharged from the army, but also by displaced crofters. Small had been appointed by the Commissioners for the Forfeited Estates to run the Rannoch estates, which had been seized from the clan chieftains who had supported the Jacobites following the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Local roads and bridges were improved, enabling soldiers at Rannoch Barracks to move more freely around the district. Clans who once lived in this area and include, MacDonald, Menzies, MacGregor, MacDougall, Cameron, Robertson, Stewart.
