Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a morning road drive, with Scottish accordion music, West on the A9 road then onto the A824 road on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to the graveyard in Aberuthven, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. James Lister Smith a Squadron Leader in the Royal Airforce Volunteer Reserve who died 15th August, 1944, and Andrew Law a Gunner in the City of London Regiment who died on 5th of January 1945 are buried here. Until the 19th century Aberuthven was named Smiddyhaugh, a blacksmith forge by the bridge over the Ruthven. In days gone by the village was known for its cattle fairs and filled with hand loom weavers working away in their cottages. The A9 is a major road running from the Falkirk council area in central Scotland to Scrabster Harbour, Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness in the Highlands. At 273 miles it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth longest A road in the United Kingdom. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats, and has been called the spine of Scotland. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. 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
