Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Winter road trip, with Scottish bagpipes music, after overnight snow on ancestry genealogy, family history visit to Burrelton, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Burrelton is small Scottish village is located about 12 miles from Perth and 15 miles from Dundee. It is joined onto another smaller village, Woodside. At the end of the 18th Century a new turnpike road from Perth was constructed by private subscription. James Lamond was born on 29 November 1928 in Burrelton. His father worked for the London and North Eastern Railway. He was educated at schools in Burrelton and Coupar Angus, before becoming an apprentice draughtsman at the Hall and Company shipyard in Aberdeen in 1942, aged 14. He could not afford the fees to study naval architecture in Newcastle, and worked as a draughtsman for the North east Scotland Regional Hospital Board. After he failed to be selected for the safe Labour seat of Aberdeen North, losing out to Robert Hughes, he found favour instead in Oldham East, where he was elected as Member of Parliament in June 1970. After constituency boundaries were redrawn for the 1983 election, he moved to the new seat of Oldham Central and Royton, selected ahead of Joel Barnett. With his wife June Wellburn in 1954, Lamond had three daughters, all of whom survived him. He suffered from pneumonia in later life. He died on 20 November 2007. 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 #bagpipes #shorts #snow
