Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, North on the old military route between Coupar Angus and Blairgowrie on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Eastern, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. In the 1760s Coupar angus was an important enough town to become the starting point of two military roads, one heading north to Blairgowrie and then through the mountains to Fort George near Inverness in the Highlands. The other headed west from the north bank of the river to Dunkeld. The bridge over the River Isla was built at the same time, and with the town lying on the busy route to Aberdeen, its prosperity seemed assured. The roads all still exist, but the traffic is reduced from its heyday, August is the last full month of Summer in Scotland and a prime time to explore Scotland's natural attractions with long daylight hours, upwards of 13 to 15 hours per day. This is one of the warmest months of the year, along with July, and you should expect some rain, though just how much depends on where you travel. 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
