Tour Scotland Video Glen Quaich Highland Perthshire November 27th

Tour Scotland video shot this morning of a drive through Glen Quaich in Highland Perthshire, Scotland. This is a very narrow Scottish road, and you will see me, on the drive, pull into a Passing Place to allow another vehicle to get passed. Glen Quaich runs North West from Amulree. From the furthest point the River Quaich runs South East from the hills into Loch Freuchie. Along the shore line of Loch Freuchie there are several sites of ruined communities. These communities would have several houses, sometimes a mill and would have been home to perhaps 10 to 15 families. In the 18th century when communities in Loch Tay were being vacated as a result of the new farming and tenancy agreements brought about by the Marquis of Breadalbane, many families moved to Glen Quaich. The families however did not remain in Glen Quaich for long. In the early 1800s around three hundred crofters left the glen to resettle in Canada. After a three month voyage they colonised the Easthope area of Ontario and named their settlements Amulree and Glenquaich.

Tour Scotland Autumn Video Loch Freuchie Perthshire

Tour Scotland Autumn video of Loch Freuchie, Glen Quaich, Perthshire, Scotland. Loch Freuchie is located in a sheltered location in Glen Quaich near the tiny hamlet of Amulree, West of Dunkeld. Along the shore line of Loch Freuchie there are several sites of ruined communities. Most of this development happened in the 18th century when the communities in Loch Tay were being cleared as a result of the new farming and tenancy agreements brought about by the Marquis of Breadalbane. The families however did not remain in Glen Quaich for long, many emigrating to Canada. In the early 1800s around three hundred crofters left the glen to resettle in Canada. After a three month voyage they colonised the Easthope area of Ontario and named their settlements Amulree and Glenquaich.

Tour Scotland Photograph Video Road To Kenmore

Tour Scotland photograph of the Glen Quaich road from Amulree to Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland. A road has linked Amulree and Kenmore for a very long time and a route is shown in Roy's Military Survey of 1747. The cattle droving history can be taken further back than that though as the Amulree Hotel, now closed, was founded as a drovers' inn in 1714. Sitting as Amulree does at a crossroads of old routes, it is perhaps no surprise that it had a Tryst in May, which existed even before the more famous Tryst was established at Crieff.
