Tour Scotland Video Magician Medieval Fair Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a Magician in the city centre on ancestry visit to the Medieval Fair in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. A medieval Magician was a comic performer who often used humour alongside his Magic skills. A magician often performed in public places such as in market places, in the street and at medieval fairs. To make a living of any kind, a magician therefore had to rely upon his audience for tips. The equivalent today is what people refer to as a street entertainer, a highly skilled magician who can perform serious Magic feats as well as comic ones and who performs in public places such as market places in tourist resorts and cities or in special fairs and town/city celebrations. Sometimes they will be relying on tips from the public but, unlike in medieval times, they will often be professionally engaged for both public and private function performances.

Old photograph of the Pheasant Tree in Wanlockhead, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This village is located in the Lowther Hills and one mile south of Leadhills at the head of the Mennock Pass, which forms part of the Southern Uplands. It is Scotland's highest village. Wanlockhead owes its existence to the lead and other mineral deposits in the surrounding hills. These deposits were first exploited by the Romans. The village was founded permanently in 1680 when the Duke of Buccleuch built a lead smelting plant and workers cottages. A branch railway also the highest in Scotland, served the village from 1901 to 1939.
