Autumn Road Trip Drive With Music On History Visit To Church Stormontfield Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of a late afternoon road trip drive on a narrow route to St David's Church on ancestry visit to Stormontfield located just North of Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The building was designed on a simple oblong structure measuring externally 56 feet by 19 feet and internally 52 feet by 14.5 feet. The Masons were Bruce and Miller; the Carpenters were Stewart and McFarlane; the Slater was a Mr Chalmers; the building Superintendent was Mr Pennycook of Stormontfield. David I, born c. 1082, died May 24, 1153, in Carlisle, Cumberland, England, was one of the most powerful Scottish kings. He reigned from 1124. He admitted into Scotland an Anglo French Norman aristocracy that played a major part in the later history of the kingdom. He also reorganized Scottish Christianity to conform with continental European and English usages and founded many religious communities, mostly for Cistercian monks and Augustinian canons. The youngest of the six sons of the Scottish king Malcolm III Canmore and Queen Margaret, afterward Saint Margaret, David spent much of his early life at the court of his brother in law King Henry I of England. Through David’s marriage in 1113 to a daughter of Waltheof, earl of Northumbria, he acquired the English earldom of Huntingdon and obtained much land in that county and in Northamptonshire. With Anglo-Norman help, David secured from his brother Alexander I, king of Scots from 1107, the right to rule Cumbria, Strathclyde, and part of Lothian. In April 1124, on the death of Alexander, David became king of Scots. In Scotland, David created a rudimentary central administration, issued the first Scottish royal coinage, and built or rebuilt the castles around which grew the first Scottish burghs: Edinburgh, Stirling, Berwick, Roxburgh, and perhaps Perth. As ruler of Cumbria he had taken Anglo-Normans into his service, and during his kingship many others settled in Scotland, founding important families and intermarrying with the older Scottish aristocracy. Bruce, Stewart, Comyn, and Oliphant are among the noted names whose bearers went from northern France to England during the Norman Conquest in 1066 and then to Scotland in the reign of David I. To these and other French-speaking immigrants, David granted land in return for specified military service or contributions of money, as had been done in England from the time of the Conquest.

Magpie Bird On Autumn Saturday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn Saturday wildlife nature camera travel video of the sight and sounds of a Magpie bird spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" ne for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey.
