Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive South on the A9 route on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the outskirts of Pitlochry, Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Pitlochry's growth from tiny settlement to a town can be traced back to a two notable visitors. The first was General Wade in the early 1700s, who built one of his main military routes north through what is now the town. The second was Queen Victoria, who in 1842 stayed at nearby Blair Castle. Her favourable comments marked the start of Pitlochry's real growth as a popular tourist destination. The arrival of the third visitor, the railway, in 1863 confirmed it as one of the premier mountain resorts in the country. Today the town retains a good rail service. The A9 is a major road running from central Scotland to Scrabster Harbour, Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness. 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. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June
