Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of the sight and sounds of traffic driving through some Storm Gerrit flooding on Stormont Road on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip on rainy, windy weather to Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The road, Stormont Road, is named after Sir David Murray, first Viscount Stormont, who was cup bearer to King James VI. Having been instrumental in saving the life of his royal master. The surname Murray was first found in Moray, where the Clan founder, Freskin, received a grant of the lands of Strathbrock in 1100 AD. He was descended from the first Earl, and his grandson, William, married the heiress of the Bothwell Clan in Lanarkshire. His sons founded many other houses, including the Murrays of Tullibardine, who later became the Dukes of Atholl, and Chiefs of the Clan. Murray has appeared in many spellings, including; Murray, Murrey, Moray, Morey, Morrey, Morry, Murry, MacMhuirich in Gaelic, and many more. Margaret Murray landed in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1773; Christopher Murray landed in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1773; Mary Murray landed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1778; Morton Murray arrived in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1783; Barbara Murray who landed in Cape Fear, North Carolina, America, in 1737; Charles Murray landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America, in 1746; Garret Murray arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America, in 1746; Elizabeth Murray landed in Boston, Massachusetts, America, in 1755; Archibald Murray, aged 17, arrived in New York, America, in 1755; Mary Murray, an English convict who was convicted in Middlesex, England for 7 years, was transported aboard the ship Canada in March 1810, arriving in New South Wales, Australia; Jane Murray, born 1775, aged 38, an Irish convict was convicted in Dublin, Ireland for 7 years, and transported aboard the ship Catherine on 8th December 1813, arriving in New South Wales, Australia; William Murray, aged 21, a labourer, arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship Bengal Merchant in 1840; John Murray, aged 24, a ploughman, arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship Blenheim in 1840.

Boxing Day Road Trip Drive With Music On Outlander Visit To Culross West Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish fiddle music, on Boxing Day, after Christmas Day on Outlander, ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the village of Culross, Scottish Gaelic: Cuileann Ros, in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. A legend states that when the British princess, and future Saint, Teneu, daughter of the king of Lothian, became pregnant before marriage, her family threw her from a cliff. She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf; he became foster father of her son, Saint Kentigern or Mungo. The most complete example of a burgh in the 17th and 18th centuries, Culross is acknowledged as one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland, hence why it is so often used as a film and television location, including for hit US TV series, Outlander. The town is best remembered as being used as Cranesmuir in season 1. The Mercat Cross, in the centre of Culross, acted as the centre of Cranesmuir. Here is located Geillis Duncan’s house and the historically picturesque town square where Geillis is sentenced to burn for being a witch. It is also here that Jamie and Claire rescue the thief, Tammas, when his ear is pinned to the post. With narrow roads, the streets of Culross, during the Outlander episodes, were almost free from traffic, making it easy to imagine life in the 18th century. The Outlander cast and crew returned to Culross for season 4 filming. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. 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.
