Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a short road trip drive East on the A85 route on history visit to Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The A85 provides a nearly continuous route linking the East and West coasts of Scotland. For much of the A85's route, it follows the course of an old military road in Britain, United Kingdom. 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, born 1757, died 1834, made a crucial contribution to the communications and economy of the Highlands in a period of great social and economic change at the end of the 18th century and first decades of the 19th century. Telford was responsible for over 700 miles of new roads, necessitating over 1000 bridges. His roads were designed for both travellers and cattle. .Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
