Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in snow on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Loch Callter in the Aberdeenshire Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The track that runs past Loch Callater is part of an historic drovers road, known as Jock's Road, which historically facilitated the movement of cattle and sheep between Braemar and Glen Doll. The area was admired by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Queen Victoria noted its beauty during her last expedition with the Prince Consort on October 16, 1861. The glen is also reputedly a favourite haunt of King Charles when he stays at the nearby Balmoral castle estate. The area has clerical associations, earning it the nickname " the miracle glen ". A local legend tells of a priest named Phadruig ot Patrick, whose prayers at a well, Peter's Well, were said to have caused a thaw during a particularly harsh winter, saving the local populace from famine. 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.
