Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive from Bridge Of Earn to Edinburgh Road on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Bridge of Earn, Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid Èireann, is often referred to simply as The Brig. The village of Bridge Of Earn grew up on the south bank of an important crossing of the River Earn, whose sandstone bridge existed from at least the early 14th century, when it is known to have been repaired by order of King Robert I of Scotland. The bridge was a major landmark on the road between Edinburgh, 39 miles to the South, and Perth, 4 miles to the North, for several centuries. Perth has been known as The Fair City since the publication of the story Fair Maid of Perth by Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott in 1828. During the later medieval period the city was also called St John's Toun or Saint Johnstoun by its inhabitants in reference to the main church dedicated to St John the Baptist. 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. According to the meteorological calendar, the first day of Autumn or Fall always falls on September 1.
