Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, to the Parish Church on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Muthill, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Early settlement in the area owes much to the Romans' brief occupation, and this seems to explain the straightness of the roads. Muthill itself was founded by Céli Dé or Culdee monks who had established a community here in the 1100s. The name comes from the Gaelic word Maothaill, The Gothic styled parish church that was built in 1826 by the Presbyterian arm of the church after the site of the original 1400s church came under the control of the Episcopalians. The designer was James Gillespie Graham, and it is easy to see in Muthill how he came by his nickname of Pinnacle Graham. Once an important religious centre and the site of a Celí Dé monastery. The church here also served for a time as a seat of the Bishops of Strathearn, later Dunblane, before the building of the cathedral at Dunblane in the 13th century. The village was largely destroyed in the 1715 to 1716 Jacobite rising, being rebuilt in the 1740s as it lay on the route of General Wade's military road through Strathearn. The kirkyard at the centre of the small town contains the ruins of an important 15th century parish church, which incorporates an 11th century bell-tower, built on the orders of Michael Ochiltree, Bishop of Dunblane. 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
