Tour Scotland Video Wreath Laying 51st Highland Division War Memorial Remembrance Service Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of silence followed by Wreath Laying and Bugler at the 51st Highland Division Remembrance Service at the War Memorial in North Inch Park on ancestry visit to Perth, Scotland. They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

Each year at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we observe a Two Minute Silence. Armistice Day on 11 November marks the end of the First World War and is a day to remember and honour those who have paid the price for our freedom.

Old Photograph Oskamull Farm Dun Mor Isle Of Mull Scotland

Old photograph of Oskamull Farm at Dun Mor on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. Slight remains of a fort are situated on the summit of a rocky knoll North East of Oskamull farmhouse. The position is one of considerable natural strength, being protected by steep grassy slopes on the East and elsewhere by crags. The fort measures 47m from North to South by 44m transversely within a single stone wall. Where the wall survives it has been reduced to a low stone mound measuring up to 1.2m in thickness; short stretches of outer face can still be seen on the North and West, several of the stones on the former side being set on end. The entrance probably lay on the South side, where a gully breaches the line of the wall. The interior, which falls in a series of natural terraces from its highest point on the West, is heather covered in those areas where the rock is not exposed, and no structures are visible.

Old Photograph Carriden House Bo'ness Scotland

Old photograph of Carriden House near Bo'ness in West Lothian, Scotland. Carriden House is located within a 2nd century Roman fort, which formed the eastern end of the Antonine Wall. A tower probably stood on this site in the 16th century, and this was rebuilt or replaced in 1602 by John Hamilton of Lettrick. The tower was purchased later in the 17th century by the Mylne family, a prominent dynasty of masons and architects, and a west wing was added by Alexander Mylne. During the 18th century the house had many owners, and landscaping works were carried out in the grounds. In 1814, the house was bought by Admiral Sir George Johnstone Hope, born 1767, died 1818, a veteran naval officer. His son Sir James Hope, born 1808, died 1881, made further alterations to the building, and also established the estate village of Muirhouses. The estate has changed hands several more times.
