Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive along Strathmartine Road on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Dundee, Britain, United Kingdom. The name Strathmartine is tied to a local myth about a Pictish warrior named Martin who allegedly slew a dragon that had killed nine sisters. This legend is commemorated by the Martin’s Stone monument found in the nearby area. Originally, the area was its own parish known as Strathdichty Martin before being united with the parish of Mains in 1792 to form Mains and Strathmartine. In the middle of the 20th century, the road was a major route for Dundee's trams, which connected the Hilltown and Downfield areas. William Lorimer, the classicist famous for his translation of the New Testament into Lowland Scots, was born in Strathmartine. 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
