Tour Scotland short Spring 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the exterior of St. Fillans and St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Doune, Stirlingshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The church is part of the Diocese of Dunkeld, Latin: Dioecesis Dunkeldensis, a diocese of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church in southern Scotland. It is thought that the diocese was constituted as far back as the middle of the ninth century. The first occupant was styled Bishop of Fortriu, the name by which the kingdom of the northern Picts was then known. This bishop was also styled Abbot of Dunkeld, perhaps holding jurisdiction, formerly enjoyed by Iona, over the other Columban monasteries in Scotland. In 1127 King Alexander, who had already founded the Diocese of Moray farther north, erected Dunkeld into a cathedral church and replaced the Columban monks by a chapter of secular canons. The new bishopric appears to have included a great part of what afterwards became the Diocese of Argyll, and retained its jurisdiction over various churches representing old Columban foundations. There were thirty-five bishops of Dunkeld from its foundation until the suppression of the Catholic hierarchy during the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century. The Catholic Church restored the diocese on 4 March 1878, by decree of Pope Leo XIII. 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. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
