Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive on a single track route with passing places on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Loch Tummel in the Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Clans who once lived in this area included the Clan MacDonald, Clan Menzies, Clan MacGregor, Clan MacDougall, Clan Cameron, Clan Robertson and Clan Stewart. Until the late 1800s the clans people lived in stone built huts with earth floors and walls about five feet high, the roof covered in heather and turf. There was next to no furniture. The bed’s mattress on the earth floor was made of heather bracken. This is a long, narrow Scottish loch, located 5 miles north west of Pitlochry. The loch is traversed by roads on both north and south banks, offering splendid views of the surrounding countryside. The loch is popular with anglers who enjoy fishing for trout and for campers and canoeists, and with photographers all year round. The area around the River Tummel and Loch Tummel is known as Strathtummel and is one of the most beautiful parts of Big Tree Country in Perthshire, A single track road or one lane road is a road that permits two way travel but is not wide enough in most places to allow vehicles to pass one another, although sometimes two compact cars can pass. This kind of road is common in rural areas across the United Kingdom and elsewhere. The term is widely used in Scotland, particularly the Highlands, to describe such roads. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the Autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American. 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. Meteorological Autumn or Fall is different from standard and astronomical Autumn and begins September 1 and ends November 30.
