Tour Scotland Video Thunder And Lightning Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of heavy rain, thunder and lightning on walking visit in Scone just outside Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The climate of Scotland is temperate and oceanic, and tends to be very changeable, but not normally extreme. It is warmed by the Gulf Stream from the Atlantic, and given its northerly latitude it is warmer than areas on similar latitudes, for example Labrador in Canada, where the sea freezes over in winter and icebergs are a common feature in spring and early summer, or Fort McMurray, Canada, where −35 °C is not uncommon during winter. Even though most of the country has a temperate climate, the Northern islands and Highlands experience a type of weather close to the climate of the Faroe Islands or Southern Norway.

Old Photograph Peterculter Scotland

Old photograph of Peterculter, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. In 1287, an agreement was made between the Abbot and Convent of Kelso and the brotherhood of the Knights of Jerusalem, regarding the Templars lands of Blairs and Kincousie, on the south side of the Dee, by which a chapel, built by the Templars at their house of Culter, was recognised as a church, with parochial rights, for the inhabitants of the said lands. It was this agreement that changed the existing parish of Culter into two separate parishes with two separate names, the other being Maryculter.
