Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking in Diana's Grove on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Blair Castle in the Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Originally laid out as a " wilderness " in 1737 by the 2nd Duke of Atholl, it was later named after the Roman goddess of hunting. James was a pioneer in forestry and planted some of the first larches in Scotland here, four of which still survive today. The 18th and 19th century Dukes of Atholl were known for their obsession with arboriculture. By 1830, they had planted over 27 million trees across the estate. The 7th Duke significantly expanded the collection, planting many of the exotic conifers that have now reached record breaking heights. 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. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
