Spring Road Trip Drive With Music To Friarton Bridge On History Visit To Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of road trip drive North on the M90 motorway to cross the Friarton Bridge on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Dreich is a Scots word for dull and cloudy and rainy weather. The steel box girder bridge with a concrete deck, across the River Tay was constructed by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company with Miller Group as the foundation and concrete sub contractor, while it was designed by Freeman Fox & Partners, with the team being led by Dr Oleg Kerensky and the resident engineer H Binnie. The site manager for Cleveland was J Robinson and for Miller it was R Gormley. Oleg Aleksandrovich Kerensky, Оле́г Алекса́ндрович Ке́ренский; born 16 April 1905, died 25 June 1984, was a Russian civil engineer, one of the foremost bridge designers of his time. Kerensky was born in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire, the son of future Russian prime minister Alexander Kerensky, who survived the events of the Russian Civil War and emigrated to Paris in 1918. Both Oleg and his younger brother Gleb graduated as engineers in 1927, and both settled in the United Kingdom. As an associate of Dorman Long, Kerensky assisted on the landmark 1932 Sydney Harbour Bridge. As an associate, and then a partner, in the firm Freeman Fox & Partners, Kerensky designed many British road bridges and structures such as the 1951 temporary Dome of Discovery in London, the largest dome in the world. He was president of the Institution of Structural Engineers in 1970 and won their Gold Medal in 1977. After his death in London, the same institution began their Kerensky Memorial Conferences beginning in 1988. He was made a C.B.E. in 1964 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1970. Kerensky was the father and namesake of dance critic Oleg Kerensky, Jr, born 1930, died 1993. Oleg Junior was in the 1981 film Reds portraying his grandfather when he was the head of the Russian Provisional Government. Friarton Bridge which spans the River Tay forms part of the important east coast road corridor from Edinburgh through to Dundee and Aberdeen. in the distance you can see Kinnoull Hill a popular walking area by Perth. The M90 motorway runs from junction 1a of the M9, at the south end of the Queensferry Crossing Road Bridge, to Perth, passing Dunfermline and Kinross on the way. It is the most northerly motorway in the United Kingdom. The first section of the M90 opened in 1964 to coincide with the opening of the original Forth Road Bridge.

Magpie Bird And Starling On Spring Tuesday Visit To Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Tuesday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of beautiful. sociable, black and white Magpie Bird and Starling Bird spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. 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. The Starling is a familiar bird that breeds in farmland, suburban areas and open woodlands. Seen from a distance, starlings look black with a short tail and pointed yellow bill, but when seen close-to, they are very glossy with a metallic sheen of purples and greens. Starlings forage in lawns, fields, and other open areas with short vegetation. They are primarily insectivores in their natural habitat, but will feed on a wide variety of items outside of their natural diet, including fruits and seeds. The starling can be found throughout lowland Scotland where there is cultivation and pasture. It is generally absent in highlands and in areas dominated by grass or heather moorland. Highest densities are found along the East coast, Central lowlands and Dumfries and Galloway. 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 #shortsvideo #spring #birds #nature #birdsong All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
