Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, East on the A822 route on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to the Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. For its entire route, the A822 roughly follows the line of successive pieces of military roads laid out 250 years ago or more. The first few miles can trace their history back even further, following the line of a Roman Road. A network of military roads, sometimes called General Wade's Military Roads, was constructed in the Scottish Highlands during the middle part of the 18th century in the wake of the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. The roads were constructed to link the Central Lowlands with a series of fortified barracks located strategically across the Highlands. Their purpose, much like the network of roads constructed by the Romans more than 1,500 years earlier, was to suppress and exert control over the local population. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. @tourscotland #scotland #bagpipes #music #drivingtrip #spring
