Tour Scotland Video Winter Drive From Dunkeld To Logierait Church Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of a Winter road trip drive North on the A9 road from Dunkeld on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Church in Logierait, Highland Perthshire. This Scottish village was the birthplace of the sociologist Adam Ferguson born 1723, died 1816, and the Canadian politicians John McIntosh, born 1796, died 1853 and Alexander Mackenzie, born 1822, died 1892, Canada's second Prime Minister. The church building you see today was constructed between 1804 and 1806, apparently on the site of, and perhaps incorporating parts of, an earlier church, itself probably the latest in a series to have stood on the spot. Most sources agree that the first church was established on this site as early as 650, by St Cedd, while travelling from Island of Iona to Lindisfarne All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
