Autumn Road Trip Drive B846 To Tummel Bridge Highland Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of an Autumn road trip drive on the B846 road to visit Tummel Bridge, Highland Perthshire. Heading heading North the road follows the route, either exactly or alongside, of General Wade's Military Road as it climbs through Glen Goulandie. Just before the summit, an unclassified road turns off to the left, creating a shortcut to Kinloch Rannoch. After the summit here, the road drops once more, quite sharply in places, as we descend to Tummel Bridge with stunning scenery on the way. The approach to the bridge is westwards alongside the River at the head of Loch Tummel, and then past the Power Station that generates electricity from the water of Loch Rannoch and Dunalastair Water further west. This bridge was also built by General Wade, with the village growing up around it. The B846 is one of the longer, and most variable, B-roads in Scotland. It starts in the Perthshire town of Aberfeldy, on the banks of the River Tay, and ends in the midst of the wilderness that is Rannoch Moor.

National Cycle Network Route 7 Killin Kenmore Aberfeldy Loch Tay Guide
Part of a series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery.
Cycling Killin to Kenmore and Aberfeldy via the south side of Loch Tay. Total distance 48miles return. Shot 4 May 2015 for the best unobstructed views (not many leaves on the trees yet) and still plenty of snow on the mountains. Aberfeldy is just off 7 which continues along the north side of the Tay at Weem.
The road on the south side of Loch Tay is pretty hilly, frequent climbs and descents back towards lochside, a gradually climbing sawtooth. OK when the wind is with you – normally in the Killin-Aberfeldy direction as that matches the prevailing wind direction … but it was tough on the way back with the wind blowing from the Atlantic, up Loch Fyne, and along the length of the glen.
Although it’s all on-road, there is generally little traffic, but do watch out for occasional surprises around blind corners and over blind summits on the narrow single track section between Killin and Kenmore. There might not be a lot of traffic but it goes fast, often too fast for the road. Visibility is not good. *** Update Nov 2016 - the speed limit has been reduced to 40mph with some 'cycling and walking friendly road' signage. A positive move but that's still too fast for the road ****
Fantastic views - Watch out for James Bond and M enjoying them as in Skyfall - but with the advantage of better weather than they had during the filming in Glen Etive.

Scotland's Scenery! Walk from the Birks of Aberfeldy to Kenmore
This video is about a club hike in Scotland, UK from Aberfeldy to Kenmore through the 'Birks of Aberfeldy' made famous by scottish poet Robert Burns.
Birks of Aberfeldy. From Wiki:
The Birks of Aberfeldy is a song lyric written for a pre-existing melody in 1787 by Robert Burns. He was inspired to write it by the Falls of Moness and the birch trees of Aberfeldy during a tour of the Scottish Highlands with his friend William Nicol.
With huge thanks to John Convery and Donald Smith for contributing the brilliant group photographs!

National Cycle Network Scottish Highlands Route 7 Aberfeldy Pitlochry Killiecrankie Blair Atholl
Part of a series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery.
Aberfeldy sits at 90m just off route 7 which runs along the north side of the Tay here.
After crossing the Tay on General Wade’s bridge we head east at Weem and follow an undulating minor road gradually down stream to 64m, cross the bridge here to avoid the main road then climb to about 90m above the south bank of the Tay for some fine views and gradually down again to about 62m at the impressive old railway bridge at Logierait where the Tay and the Tummel merge.
Cross the main road here and theres a short steep steep climb of about 20m, some more undulating single track road and a final steep 30m up to a farm at 125m with a great view over Pitlochry, then down again crossing the river Tummel at 80m on the suspension footbridge (note no cycling!)
A gradual climb up the main street of Pitlochry, exiting the end of the town at about 115m, then up through Killiecrankie high above the river Garry to around 165m before dropping down to Blair Atholl at 135m.
Overall, there are some steep sections but they are short and the signposted 14% at Killiecrankie doesn’t last long and really doesn’t seem that steep. The main hazard is probably the busy road section through Pitlochry and Killiecrankie to Blair Atholl. It’s the old A9 and still carries a lot of tourist and local traffic.
Surface – It’s all tarmac apart from a short 100m section you easily bypass.
One hint – I happened to park outside the Breadalbane bakery and tea room in Dunkeld street Aberfeldy – that’s the main way in from the A9 and picked up a really nice (and good size) empire biscuit before starting off - they also have public toilets.

100 Mile Cycle (On a mountain bike) - Part 1
First part of my video diary of a 100 mile cycle on a mountain bike. I had been wanting to do 100 miles on the bike for a while, but hadn't found the time to do it until now. The route I cycled took me through Braco, Muthill, Crieff, Gilmerton, Amulree, Milton, Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Killin, Balquhidder, Callander, Doune and back to Dunblane - about 103 miles all told. Most of this was road cycling, but about 20 miles or so was done on the popular Cycle Route 7.
The bike was a Cannondale F5 disc - will start saving for a decent road bike now! Video done on the Canon Ixus 100. There seems to be a bit of audio sync issue on these two videos, Youtube not liking my H.264/AAC upload as per usual...
Small Group Ancestry Tour Ben Macdui Cairngorms Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of photographs from a small group ancestry visit to Ben Macdui, Cairngorms, Scottish Highlands. This is the second highest mountain in the United Kingdom after Ben Nevis, and the highest in the Cairngorms. After the defeat of Domnall mac Uilliam in 1187, Donnchad II, Earl of Fife, acquired Strathavon, territory stretching from Ballindalloch to Ben Macdui; because the mountain marked the western boundary of Donnchad's territory it is thought that the mountain took its name from Donnchad's family, the Mac Duibh.

-- | LYRICS |--
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here, made friends and lost them through the years
And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know, I’ve grown
but I can’t wait to go home
I’m on my way, driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer, And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Fifteen years old and smoking hand rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don’t reckon I did it right
I was younger then, take me back to when we found
Weekend jobs when we got paid and buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we’ve grown
I can’t wait to go home
I’m on my way, driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer, And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One’s brother overdosed
Ones already on his second wife
Ones just barely getting by
But these people raised me
And I can’t wait to go home
And I’m on my way, and I still remember those country lanes
When we did not know the answers, And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
