Tour Scotland Video Heavy Rain Annaty Burn Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of heavy rain at Annaty Burn located North of Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. According to local legend, in 1296 when it was known that King Edward I was going to remove the Stone of Destiny to England, monks from Scone Abbey are reputed to have removed the stone and hidden it in a safe place, and replaced it with a stone that was taken from the Annaty Burn. This may explain why some believe that the Stone of Destiny which rests in Edinburgh Castle is formed from exactly the kind of stone that is found. Burn is a Scots word for small river or stream.
