Tour Scotland Video Great Britain VI Steam Train Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of the Great Britain VI Steam Train on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the railway station in Perth, Perthshire. The station was opened as Perth General by the Scottish Central Railway in 1848. Originally the terminus of the SCR main line from Greenhill Junction near Glasgow, it soon became a junction of some importance with the arrival of the Dundee and Perth Railway from Dundee, following the completion of a bridge across the River Tay, the Edinburgh and Northern Railway from Ladybank on the Fife coast, and the Scottish Midland Junction Railway from Forfar within months. Subsequent construction by the Perth and Dunkeld Railway and the Perth, Almond Valley and Methven Railway added further lines into and out of the city, with the former becoming part of what is now the Highland Main Line to Inverness. The SMJR meanwhile would become part of a through route to Aberdeen by 1856, thus giving Perth travellers easy access to all of the major Scottish cities.
