Tour Scotland 4K early Spring travel video, with Scottish music, East on the A90 road to All Saints' Church on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Glencarse, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The style of architecture of the church, designed by Mr Blackadder of Perth, is English Domestic Gothic, and the walls are of pitch pine and cement. The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Brechin, the Right Reverend Dr Hugh Willoughby Jermyn, on the 25th April 1878. It was established as a mission church, free of debt, most of the money having been provided by Lord Kinnaird, Mr Greig of Glencarse House and Colonel Drummond-Hay of Seggieden. Mr Greig gave a most appropriate site with a southerly aspect and a sunny location. Up to that date Episcopalians were forbidden to assemble at meetings exceeding nine persons for religious worship. Such meeting were usually private houses, or even fields. The Episcopal congregations of Glencarse in the eighteenth century had meeting houses in Inchyra and Pitroddie. Inchyra was a busy mediaeval trading village with its pier and ferry. Pitroddie, formerly known as Battrodie, once a burial place of Druids, had a thriving population based on the quarrying industry. These meeting houses can be regarded as as the forerunners of All Saints' Glencarse. No part of the grounds can be used for burials or the interrment of ashes, the traditional burial ground being that of the old parish church at Kinfauns, about two miles west of Glencarse. This A90 road originates in Edinburgh, it the travels west and over the Forth Road Bridge, before turning into the M90 motorway. At Perth, the M90 again becomes the A90, now running north east to Dundee and through the Kingsway road system. It then passes Forfar, Brechin, Stracathro, the site of an ancient Roman Camp, Stonehaven, Bridge of Muchalls, where the Burn of Muchalls flows under, near Muchalls Castle, near Saint Ternan's Church, Newtonhill, Portlethen, from there through the city of Aberdeen, crossing the Ythan Estuary, on to Peterhead on its way to Fraserburgh.
