Tour Scotland Photograph Loch Garry

Tour Scotland photograph of Loch Garry and Glen Garry, near Fort Augustus, Scotland. Loch Garry is much photographed from the A87 for its romantic setting and also because a quirk of perspective makes it appear like a map of Scotland. The Glen used to be home of the Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry, but since the Highland Clearances the population has been reduced to a handful of estates. The main activities are deerstalking and forestry, with little tourism apart from munro baggers seeking some spectacularly remote mountains at the head of the glen. The lonely road along the north side of Loch Garry continues past Loch Quoich to Kinlochhourn from where a footpath continues to Knoydart.

Tour Scotland Video Murray Tomb Scone Palace

Tour Scotland video of the Murray Tomb by Scone Palace near Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The ornate tomb of David Murray, the first Lord Scone, stands adjacent to Scone Palace, right on the top of Moot Hill. Sir David Murray saved King James VI from an attack by the Earl Gowrie in 1600 and was made Cup-bearer, then Master of the Horse and finally Captain of the Guard to King James VI. The King made him Lord Scone in 1605, awarding him the lands of Scone which had been forfeited by the Earl of Gowrie. By this time, James was on the throne of the United Kingdom and living in London. In 1621, Murray rose further in the rankings of the noblemen by being made Viscount Stormont. His descendants rose still further, becoming the Earls of Mansfield.
