Tour Scotland short 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in the rain at Linn of Tummel by the River Tummel on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Historically, the River Tummel featured a magnificent 5-metre plunge waterfall at this site. However, the construction of the Pitlochry Dam and the Tummel Hydro-Electric Power Scheme between 1947 and 1950 raised water levels, submerging the original falls and transforming them into the roaring rapids seen today. On September 17, 1844, Queen Victoria visited the site to admire the splendour of the area. Its name is derived from the Scots Gaelic linne, meaning " deep pool, " referring to the dramatic confluence where the River Garry meets the River Tummel. 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. 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
