Tour Scotland 4K Summer morning travel video, with Scottish accordion music, of a road trip drive East on the A90 route from Perth, Perthshire, to the Swallow Roundabout on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dundee, Tayside, Britain, United Kingdom. Swallow Roundabout is at the western end of the Dundee Kingsway, from where the A85 Riverside Drive leads in to the City. It was named after the nearby hotel, however the hotel was renamed as the Landmark Hotel, became the DoubleTree Hotel in 2013, and reverted to the Landmark Hotel in 2020. It remains to be seen whether anyone will start referring to the junction as the Landmark roundabout. It is, however, known by many visitors as the Invergowrie Roundabout, due to its proximity to the village. However, that name more correctly refers to another nearby roundabout. The roundabout is a simple four arm junction, despite carrying a lot of traffic, destined both for Dundee and beyond to Aberdeen and North East Scotland. The A90 is dualled in both directions, the 20 miles run to Perth being free from roundabouts and traffic lights, whilst the five miles northeast around the Kingsway are littered with such obstructions. The Swallow Roundabout is, then, the end of the open road, with its connection via Perth to the Motorway network, and the start of a slower, if often more stressful, way of life as traffic battles around Dundee and then heads north for Aberdeen. The A90 road originates in Edinburgh, it the travels west and over the Forth Road Bridge, before turning into the M90 motorway. At Perth, the M90 again becomes the A90, now running north east to Dundee and through the Kingsway road system. It then passes Forfar, Brechin, Stracathro, the site of an ancient Roman Camp, Stonehaven, Bridge of Muchalls, where the Burn of Muchalls flows under, near Muchalls Castle, near Saint Ternan's Church, Newtonhill, Portlethen, from there through the city of Aberdeen, crossing the Ythan Estuary, on to Peterhead on its way to Fraserburgh. 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
