Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive on mostly a single track road with places, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. Angus is the ancestral home of the Clan Ogilvy. In the 14th and 15th centuries the Ogilvys became hereditary sheriffs of Angus. A son of Sir Walter Ogilvy of Auchterhouse was killed in a clan battle with the Clan Robertson in 1394 and Ogilvys also fought at the Battle of Harlaw in 1411. Sir Patrick Ogilvy commanded the Scottish forces that fought alongside Joan of Arc against the English, and he was styled Viscomte d'Angus. In 1425 Sir Walter Ogilvy, younger son of Ogilvy of Wester Powrie, was appointed High Treasurer of Scotland. The Clan Ogilvy, supported by men from the Clan Oliphant, Clan Seton, Clan Gordon and the Clan Forbes fought at the Battle of Arbroath on 24 January 1445 against the Master of Crawford and his Clan Lindsay. James Ogilvy, the eldest son of the fourth Lord was killed at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh in 1547. In 1615 Saint John Ogilvie was hanged at Glasgow Cross. In 1639 the seventh Lord Ogilvy was created Earl of Airlie. The Clan Ogilvy supported the Stuart cause and joined the Earl of Mar in the Jacobite rising of 1715. David Ogilvy, 13th Earl of Airlie is the present chief of the Ogilvie clan and served as Lord Chamberlain to the Queen. Royal links were also reinforced when Angus Ogilvy, the brother of the chief, married HRH Princess Alexandra of Kent. There are many people of the Ogilvy or Ogilvie family living in various places all over the world, such as Australia, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United States, Canada, New Zealand, Argentina, Mexico and Cyprus. This road is only wide enough for one vehicle. It has special passing places. If you see a vehicle coming towards you, or the driver behind wants to overtake, try to pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite a passing place on your right. Give way to vehicles coming uphill whenever you can. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
