Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish music, of a cloudy road trip drive on the B9112 route, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The route starts on the B934 adjacent to Forteviot Bridge over the River Earn; and then follows the River Earn downstream, following a straighter route than the winding river, as it skirts the southern edge of the Dupplin Castle Estate. After climbing a little away from the riverbank, it drops gently down a long straight through fields before plunging into woodland. A windy section follows, which is soon climbing steeply out of the valley onto the hillside above. After levelling out, the route dips to cross the Milltown Burn as it passes through the small settlement of Milltown of Aberdalgie. Continuing northeast, the route is climbing once more, along a fairly straight road across fields and through a wood, crossing a summit then the steep, straight descent of Necessity Brae follows, set down in a shallow tree lined cutting. This takes the B9112 under the M90 and is a realignment from when the motorway was built. Necessity Brae continues downhill into Perth, passing a few houses and a golf course. The B9112 now bears left to end at a mini roundabout on the A93 in the Cherrybank area of Perth . The name Perth itself comes from the Pictish word for wood or thicket which suggests that the Pictish people had settlements here in the Early Middle Ages. Perth was considered the capital of Scotland during the Middle Ages from the 9th to the 15th centuries. This was because it was the primary residence of Scottish monarchs and where the Royal Courts were held. Perth was effectively the main centre for the Kingdom of Alba. 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. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March. @tourscotland #winter #music #drivingtrip
