Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by daffodils on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to House of Dun, Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. The Dun Estate was acquired in 1375 by Robert Erskine of Erskine. For centuries, the family resided in a traditional medieval tower house on the property, the stone remains of which can still be tracked in the walled garden today. John Erskine, the 5th Laird, was a key figure who helped establish the Reformed Church in Scotland alongside John Knox. Later, in 1610, the family endured a grim poisoning scandal where the 10th Laird was murdered by his own uncle and aunts over inheritance. In 1730 seeking a more comfortable, prestigious home, David Erskine commissioned Scotland's premier architect, William Adam, to design the current mansion. The design process involved collaboration with the exiled Jacobite Earl of Mar. 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
