Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by flowers on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Ballindalloch Castle and a river in Banffshire, Britain, United Kingdom. known as the Pearl of the North, this 16th century baronial castle has been the continuous family home of the Macpherson Grant family since its construction began in 1546. The rivers Spey and Avon acted as a natural moat. During the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, the castle was plundered and burned by James Graham, the 1st Marquess of Montrose, following the Battle of Inverlochy. It was restored shortly thereafter. As the need for defense waned, General James Grant of the American Wars of Independence added two massive new wings to adapt the fortress for comfortable family living. The formal grounds were laid out in the late 19th century. 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
