Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking amongst daffodils in a walled garden on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Gordon Castle in Moray, Britain, United Kingdom. Originally founded in 1479 as a fortress known as the Bog o' Gight, the windy bog, it served as the stronghold for the Gordon family for nearly 400 years. The site was first established by George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly, as a defensive tower house reached by a causeway and drawbridge. It eventually replaced Huntly Castle as the clan's primary residence around 1690. In the late 18th century, Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon, commissioned architect John Baxter to transform the fortress into a grand Neoclassical mansion. With one of the oldest and largest kitchen gardens in Britain, the walled Garden has been restored to produce fruits, herbs, and botanicals for the estate's own gin and beauty products. 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
