Tour Scotland short 4k Autumn travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, to cross the humpback bridge on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Spittal of Glenshee, Scottish Highlands, Eastern Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The bridge was constructed between 1749 and 1763 under the direction of Major William Caulfeild, an officer in the British Army who succeeded General George Wade in overseeing the expansion of Scotland's military road network. Following the final Jacobite rising and the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the British Government sought to open up the Highlands to easily deploy government troops and suppress any future rebellions. The bridge was a critical component of the Blairgowrie to Braemar Military Road, part of the longer route connecting Coupar Angus to the newly built Fort George near 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. Meteorological Autumn or Fall is different from standard and astronomical Autumn and begins September 1 and ends November 30
