Описание: Tour Scotland 4K travel video of a Winter road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, East on a the A924 old military single track route on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Strathardle Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The name Ardle is derived from a Pictish warrior who was killed in battle at Enochdhu. He was reputed to be a giant. A 1588 charter record states that Andrew Small was granted the lands of Dirnanean in Strathardle by John, the 5th Stewart Earl of Atholl. By the time James Small, born 1835, died 1900, inherited the estate on the death of his father, Patrick, Dirnanean had been passed from father to son for nine generations. When James Small died without a direct heir, the ownership of Dirnanean transitioned to a series of his nephews until Francis Keir Balfour, the owner of neighboring Kindrogan House, purchased the estate in 1926. A distant Small family cousin through his mother, Amelia Jane Keir, Francis Keir Balfour continued the Small family ownership of Dirnanean into the 1970s. The Smalls are a sept of the Scottish Clan Murray of Atholl. Queen Victoria passed through the lands of Dirnanean in 1865 and again in 1866, on her way from Balmoral Castle to Dunkeld via the Spittal of Glenshee. The visit in 1865 included a brief stop at Dirnanean House before a more extended visit at Kindrogan House.
