Spring Road Trip Drive With Music To Queen's Bridge On History Visit To Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K late Spring early Summer travel video, with Scottish accordion music, of a road trip drive West on the A90 route to cross the Queen's Bridge which spans the River Tay on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Queen's Bridge was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in October 1960, to replace the Victoria Bridge. In order to keep the crossing open during construction, the steel framework of the old bridge was jacked up 6 feet while the new bridge was built beneath it. The River Tay, Scottish Gaelic: Tatha, is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh longest in the United Kingdom. The Tay originates in western Scotland on the slopes of Ben Lui mountain, Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laoigh, then flows easterly across the Highlands, through Loch Dochart, Loch Iubhair and Loch Tay, then continues east through Strathtay, in the centre of Scotland, then south east through Perth, where it becomes tidal, to its mouth at the Firth of Tay, south of Dundee in Tayside. The A90 road originates in Edinburgh, it the travels west and over the Forth Road Bridge, before turning into the M90 motorway. At Perth, the M90 again becomes the A90, now running north east to Dundee and through the Kingsway road system. It then passes Forfar, Brechin, Stracathro, the site of an ancient Roman Camp, Stonehaven, Bridge of Muchalls, where the Burn of Muchalls flows under, near Muchalls Castle, near Saint Ternan's Church, Newtonhill, Portlethen, from there through the city of Aberdeen, crossing the Ythan Estuary, on to Peterhead on its way to Fraserburgh.
