Old Photographs Of Dunning Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Dunning, Perthshire. Dunning is situated at the south east of Strathearn. St Serf's church in the centre of the village was rebuilt in the 19th century but the tower is early medieval, 2th century, with two light arched Anglo-Saxon windows like Muthill Church. Like so many Strathearn villages, Dunning was burnt after the Battle of Sheriffmuir by the retreating Jacobite army. However the village retains it's earlier pattern with later buildings, 18th and 19th century, gathered around the church. A standing stone outside the village is said to mark the site of the Battle of Duncrub in 964AD. A local woman, Maggie Wall, was burnt as a witch in 1657 and a monument commemorates this sad event. The original thorn tree was a wild hawthorn from Dunning Den, planted in April 1716 to mark the burning of the village on a cold Saturday evening in January 1716 by the Jacobites, only a few months earlier. Duncrub House is by Dunnning. On 26 August 1511, William Rollo of Duncrub received a charter that erected his lands into a free barony. He is believed to have died at the Battle of Flodden in 1513, along with his eldest son Robert. The estates were inherited by Andrew Rollo who consolidated his position by marrying his cousin, Marion, who was heir to David Rollo of Manmure. One of Andrew's younger sons, Peter, became Bishop of Dunkeld and a judge of the Court of Session. His grandson was Sir Andrew Rollo who was knighted by James VI of Scotland. The Clan Rollo were supporters of the king during the civil war. Their loyalty was rewarded by Charles II of Scotland who created Sir Andrew as Lord Rollo of Duncrub in January 1651 at Perth. However Lord Rollo was fined £1,000 by Oliver Cromwell who was in control of Scotland in 1654. Lord Rollo's fifth son was Sir William Rollo who was a gifted soldier, and a lieutenant of the royalist army leader James Graham, 1st Marquis of Montrose. He commanded the left wing of the royal army at the Battle of Aberdeen in 1644. He also followed Montrose in his famous forced march across mountainous terrain which surprised the forces of Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquis of Argyll and led to Argyll's defeat at the Battle of Inverlochy in 1645. Rollo was later beheaded at Glasgow in October 1645 after being captured at the Battle of Philiphaugh where the royalists were defeated by the Covenanters. Despite the third Lord Rollo's support for the Prince of Orange, his son Robert Rollo, was a staunch Jacobite who attended the great hunt at Aboyne in August 1715, which was actually a secret council to plan the rising of that year. Robert Rollo fought at the Battle of Sheriffmuir and surrendered, along with the Marquess of Huntly, chief of Clan Gordon, to General Grant of the Clan Grant. He was imprisoned but later pardoned in 1717. Robert Rollo had seven children, and died peacefully at Duncrub in March 1758. Robert Rollo's eldest son, Andrew Rollo, 5th Lord Rollo was a professional soldier. During the War of the Austrian Succession he fought for the British at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743. In 1758 the fifth Lord Rollo commanded the British 22nd Regiment of Foot. During the Seven Years' War in the Americas, he fought under General Murray in the last campaign which secured Canada for the British. In 1759 he captured the French Caribbean island of Dominica even though it was heavily fortified. In 1760 he was raised to the rank of brigadier general. He fought for two more years in the Caribbean. During this time both Barbados and Martinique fell to the British. However, his health was severely affected by the climate, and he returned to England in 1762 and died at Leicester, England, in 1765. The seventh Lord Rollo fought with distinction at the siege of Pondicherry in India where he commanded a force of marines. John, eighth Lord Rollo, was an officer in the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards which is today the Scots Guards. The eighth Lord fought on the Continent between 1793 and 1795. The present Chief: David Eric Howard Rollo, The 14th Lord Rollo of Duncrub, Baron Dunning of Dunning and Pitcairns, Chief of the Name and Arms of Rollo

Nebraska Back Roads
Four clips are shown in this video which starts with a dirt road in the Platte River Valley near Kearney. The next two clips are in the hills near Lexington. The last is in eastern Nebraska near Blair. I enjoyed traveling these roads and it's really neat that there is hardly any other traffic on the roads. My favorite clips are in the hills. There are hardly any trees and I could see almost every fold of the land. So, take a trip on what might be called the frontier........
Dunnings Spring Decorah, Iowa-summer time lapse
My return trip to Decorah, Iowa was timed as perfectly as the last visit in April, pouring rain. This time is was quite humid causing the cold water of the spring to breathe out a fog and mist. When I first caught site of the falls I was stunned by the mythical vision in front of me. So I hurried to quickly capture the scene before it disappeared. As good of luck as a photographer could have, the fog and mist continued to stay throughout my whole 4+ hours I spent at the falls. I had to take one break as the rain and thunder began to come down quite hard. There were a few other visitors to the falls and the looks on their faces were priceless as well.
