Tour Scotland 4K short Spring travel video clip of Rhododendrons and Azaleas in the gardens, and the grounds of Scone Palace on ancestry family genealogy history visit and trip to Perth, Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The village of Scone once stood within the grounds of the Palace. However, when the medieval house was rebuilt as a Gothic Palace in 1803 and the landscaping of the new Palace grounds took place in 1805 the entire village was relocated two miles away and became known as New Scone. From the time of Kenneth MacAlpin, who created the Kingdom of Scone in the 9th century, all the Kings of Scots were crowned on the grounds of Scone Palace on the Moot Hill. Rhododendrons are grown for their spectacular flowers, usually borne in Spring. Azaleas are flowering shrubs in the genus Rhododendron, particularly the former sections Tsutsusi, evergreen, and Pentanthera, deciduous. Azaleas bloom in the Spring, April and May in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, and October and November in the Southern Hemisphere, their flowers often lasting several weeks. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees. They are part of the family Ericaceae. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing. Spring in the United Kingdom depends on whether you are following the astronomical or metrological calendar. 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.
