Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking in Hercules Garden on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Blair Castle in the Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. It was planned by James, 2nd Duke of Atholl, with his gardener John Wilson, the garden was transformed from a boggy hollow into a grand landscape. It originally featured a series of ponds, an orchard, and mixed plantings of fruit, vegetables, and scented shrubs. Following the World Wars, the garden fell into neglect and was briefly used for market gardening and Christmas tree farming before becoming a " forgotten wilderness ". Iain, the 10th Duke, initiated a massive restoration project to return the garden to its original 18th century glory. The garden hosts a mix of 18th century statues. 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
