Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip, of traffic by the A93 road at the Beech Hedge on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Meikleour, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. This Scottish hedge was planted in the autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge on earth, reaching 100 ft in height and 1/3 mile in length. The hedge is trimmed once every ten years, and can be viewed by visitors all year round. Spring in the United Kingdom depends on whether you are following the astronomical or metrological calendar. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip
