Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of the sight and sounds of the Linn of Dee, located on the River Dee, 6 miles west of Braemar on visit and trip to Cairngorms National Park in Aberdeenshire, Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The River Dee rises in the Cairngorms and flows through Strathdee to reach the North Sea at Aberdeen. At Linn of Dee the river passes east through a 300 metre natural rock gorge, a spot much favoured by Queen Victoria during her stays at Balmoral Castle. The queen opened the bridge that spans the Dee at this point in 1857. The bridge at the Linn of Dee is an impressive structure, not just visually but from a construction point of view as well. Visually, it is an ornate Gothic structure, with Castellated parapets, a pointed arch, heavy butresses and other similar features. However, what is perhaps more impressive is the deep, churning gorge over which the bridge was constructed. The chasm may be narrow, but it must still have been a tough job for the masons to erect the centering and then balance on rickety wooden scaffolding as the stone arch was slowly constructed. According to the meteorological calendar, the first day of Autumn or Fall always falls on September 1. If you follow the astrological calendar, however, Autumn or Fall begins on Saturday, September 23. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the Autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American. 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
