Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of a Victorian Dolls House on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Glasgow, Britain, United Kingdom. The earliest records of dolls houses or baby houses as they were also called, date back to the sixteenth century, but these were exclusive, tending to be replicas of wealthy family homes and were built as a record of the times rather than for hobby or play purposes. During the same period wealthy women in Holland and Germany created miniature houses. During the eighteenth century cabinet houses began to appear - where a dolls house was created in the interior of a beautiful cabinet. However, it was not until the Victorian era in the late 1800s that dolls houses became truly popular. Though still not seen as a hobby, many a Victorian nursery rang to the joyful sounds of children playing with the dolls house. 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
