Tour Scotland 4K early Spring travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive, through some flooding, on the old Turnpike route on ancestry, genealogy, family hhistory visit to Gairney Bank, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. A roadside settlement in Perth and Kinross, Gairney Bank is situated to the west of Loch Leven on the now B996 road, a mile South of Kinross. A toll house once operated here. Turnpike Trusts were established in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a way of creating and maintaining a decent road network. The individual Trusts were established by Acts of Parliament. Turnpikes or Toll bars were points on the roads where people had to pay to use the road. The first Scottish Turnpike Act was in 1713. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip.
