Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video, with Scottish accordion music, of part of a road trip drive South on the A85 route on an ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. For much of the A85's route, it follows the course of an old military road. This was later upgraded by Thomas Telford, before being improved once more in the 1930s as the age of motoring began. Beyond Crianlarich, the A85 is pretty true to the military route, although there are a few minor realignments most are identified as laybys or house accesses these days Thomas Telford is considered to be one of the greatest civil engineering feats of the 19th century. Thomas Telford, born 1757, died 1834, was a Scottish civil engineer, architect and stonemason, and a noted road, bridge and canal builder. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. The date for astronomical Summer in Scotland is Tuesday, 21 June, ending on Friday, 23 September. @tourscotland
