Tour Scotland video of Reindeer at the Winter Festival on visit to the City Centre on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. In traditional festive legend, Santa Claus's reindeer pull a sleigh through the night sky to help Santa Claus deliver gifts to children on Christmas Eve. The commonly cited names of the eight reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. They are based on those used in the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, commonly called The Night Before Christmas, arguably the basis of the reindeers' popularity. The reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, also known as caribou in North America, is a species of deer with circumpolar distribution, native to arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America.

Tour Scotland Video Early Winter Drive South Of Ben Vrackie Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of part of an early Winter road trip drive on a single track road South of Ben Vrackie mountain on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Ben Vrackie, Scottish Gaelic: Beinn a' Bhreacaidh; sometimes anglicised as Ben Y Vrackie, is located North of the town of Pitlochry and reaches 2,759 feet high at its summit. The summit may be reached easily by a direct path from Pitlochry or Killiecrankie, and commands views of Pitlochry and the surrounding glens. Ben Vrackie translates as " speckled mountain " and comes from a time when white quartz rocks were scattered across its slopes. Ben Vrackie is also important for its ornithological interest. This is largely a result of the site’s extensive heathland which provides suitable habitat for a number of moorland breeding birds, including wheatear, stonechat, snipe and red grouse as well as the larger birds of prey often associated with upland moors including, golden eagle, buzzards, hen harriers, merlin, peregrine and short eared owls.
