Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, East on the A827 route to cross Grandtully Bridge which spans the River Tay on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Highland Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The bridge built in 1873 consists of 3 spans of double triangular trusses, the central span being double the length of the flanking two. The roadway is carried between, rather than above or within the trusses, the deck resting on the lower members of the trusses. Despite being the same length, the two trusses are not identical, albeit both are original. The bridge engineer also worked on the Forth Rail Bridge, but it is unclear which came first, so while there are a number of comparisons between the steelwork of the two, it is not clear if Grandtully was used as a trial, or if the changes were made during construction. 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. 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
