Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring Tuesday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of much loved Robin bird spotted eating on a morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Robin bird is a familiar visitor to my garden. There are tales stretching back to Norse mythology where the robin is the protector from storms and lightning. And in Celtic folklore the robin is known as the Oak King of Summer. The well known phrase, " When robins appear, loved ones are near ", alludes to the belief that the robin is a messenger. When robins are seen, some people take comfort that loved ones are at peace, and many believe that their lost loved ones are visiting them. 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

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by daffodils and flowers in a garden on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Brodie Castle, Moray, Britain, United Kingdom. The castle was the ancestral seat of Clan Brodie for over 400 years. While the family has been associated with the land since the 12th century, allegedly gifted by King Malcolm IV in 1160, the current structure primarily dates from the 16th century. In 1645 the castle was partially destroyed by fire when it was attacked by Lewis Gordon, 3rd Marquess of Huntly, during the religious conflicts of the Covenanters. Between 1824 and 1845 massive architectural transformations occurred. William Burn began converting the castle into a Scots Baronial mansion, a project later completed and modified by James Wylson. Major Ian Brodie, the 24th Laird, bred over 400 varieties of daffodils on the estate; these still carpet the grounds every spring.

Near the end, Bree visits Frank’s grave to pay her respects to him in Boston, America, Abercorn Church was used to portray the graveyard. Abercorn Church is believed to be built on the site of a monasterey. The church dates to the late 11th or 12th century, although it is much altered from its original layout. When first constructed it had an aisleless nave and chancel. The only feature from this early period thought to still exist is a blocked southern door, now located between later burial enclosures. The church was rebuilt in 1579 and three extensions were built for local families. The Philpstoun enclosure, dated 1727, and the Binns aisle of 1618 were built onto the nave. The Duddington aisle of 1603 was joined onto the (now former) chancel, which was converted to the Hopetoun Aisle in 1708. A two storey annex with a retiring room and a burial vault underneath was also built to the north at this time. In 1893 the church was restored by P. MacGregor Chalmers. The old belfry was rebuilt, the west end was Normanised and an aisle was built along the north side of the church.
