Tour Scotland short 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of Glen Sannox on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Island of Arran, Gaelic: Eilean Arainn, an island off the west coast of Britain, United Kingdom. Within Glen Sannox it is possible to find an Iron Age fort and the remains of a village, abandoned in 1829 as part of the process of the Highland clearances. Most of the inhabitants of this areae emigrated to Canada where they built a replica of the local church that was constructed in Sannox in 1822. Mining was a source of employment in the area, when in 1840 a mine was opened in the area. However operations only lasted around two decades. Operations ended when in 1862 the 11th Duke of Hamilton closed the mine, claiming that it spoiled the local area. However, the mine was reopened after the close of the First World War.

Spring Road Trip Drive With Music On A822 Route On History Visit To Highland Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, East on the A822 route on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to the Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. For its entire route, the A822 roughly follows the line of successive pieces of military roads laid out 250 years ago or more. The first few miles can trace their history back even further, following the line of a Roman Road. A network of military roads, sometimes called General Wade's Military Roads, was constructed in the Scottish Highlands during the middle part of the 18th century in the wake of the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. The roads were constructed to link the Central Lowlands with a series of fortified barracks located strategically across the Highlands. Their purpose, much like the network of roads constructed by the Romans more than 1,500 years earlier, was to suppress and exert control over the local population. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. @tourscotland #scotland #bagpipes #music #drivingtrip #spring All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.

Magpie Bird On Spring Monday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Monday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a beautiful black and white Magpie Bird spotted eating on afternoon 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. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. @tourscotland #scotland #spring #birds #nature #shortsvideo #birdsong All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
