October 20th video of a drive through Glenshee, Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Known as the glen of the fairies it takes its name from the Gaelic "shith" meaning fairy and the old meeting place at the standing stone behind the present day church is called Dun Shith or Hill of the Fairies. The main settlement is the Spittal of Glenshee, now by-passed, which has a historic hotel, first run by monks from Coupar Angus Abbey to provide shelter and hospitality for travellers hence the name "Spittal", an outdoor activity centre, self catering lodges, the church and an original Wade hump-back bridge. The first record of a refuge for travellers here dates back to 961AD. The A93 road, part of General Wade's military road from Perth to Fort George, runs north through the glen and on into Glen Beag.
