Tour Scotland 4K early Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on rural routes on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to and trip to Inchture in Carse and Gowrie, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Inchture, Scottish Gaelic: Innis Tùir, is a village located between Dundee and Perth on the northern side of the Firth of Tay. Inchture is twinned with the village of Fléac near Angoulême in France. The first mention of a church in Inchture is from the 12th century when William the Lion granted the status of a Parish Church. In 1834 a new church, designed by David Mackenzie, was built at a cost of £1,114. On Sunday 14 December 1890 Mr Honey, the Minister, detected a fire and the whole church was gutted. The present Gothic T plan sandstone church was erected the following year. Mr Duncan D Stewart, factor of Rossie Estates, was the architect. Andrew Heiton was born 3 April 1823 in Inchture, the son of Andrew Heiton, another architect, and Janet Lorimer. He had at least one brother, the younger Thomas Arthur Heiton. Heiton served as an apprentice under his father, who had moved to Perth. He then worked with William Burn and David Bryce in Edinburgh, before returning to practice with his father in the mid-1840s. John Murray Robertson became their apprentice in the middle of the 19th century. The duo built or added to several railway stations, including that of Stirling and Perth. They also served as the Perth's City Architects from 1856, succeeding William Macdonald Mackenzie. Heiton died in Perth in 1894, aged 70. He is buried in Greyfriars Burial Ground, just off the city's Tay Street. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March.
