The Birks of Aberfeldy, Perthshire
This beautiful walk up the steep gorge of Moness burn with its many waterfalls was filmed in February 2017. It inspired Robert Burns to write the song The Birks of Aberfeldy (see below).

The Birks Of Aberfeldy
by Robert Burns (1787)
Chorus:
Bonie lassie, will ye go,
Will ye go, will ye go,
Bonie lassie, will ye go
To the birks of Aberfeldy!
Now Simmer blinks on flowery braes,
And o'er the crystal streamlets plays;
Come let us spend the lightsome days,
In the birks of Aberfeldy.
Bonie lassie, etc.
While o'er their heads the hazels hing,
The little birdies blythely sing,
Or lightly flit on wanton wing,
In the birks of Aberfeldy.
Bonie lassie, etc.
The braes ascend like lofty wa's,
The foaming stream deep-roaring fa's,
O'erhung wi' fragrant spreading shaws –
The birks of Aberfeldy.
Bonie lassie, etc.
The hoary cliffs are crown'd wi' flowers,
White o'er the linns the burnie pours,
And rising, weets wi' misty showers
The birks of Aberfeldy.
Bonie lassie, etc.
Let Fortune's gifts at randoe flee,
They ne'er shall draw a wish frae me;
Supremely blest wi' love and thee,
In the birks of Aberfeldy.
Bonie lassie, etc.

Castle Menzies in Scotland is the ancestral seat of the Clan Menzies and the Menzies Baronets. It is located a little to the west of the small village of Weem, near Aberfeldy in the Highlands of Perthshire, close to the former site of Weem Castle, destroyed c. 1502...
History:
The sixteenth-century castle, built as a Z-plan castle, was the seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 500 years. Strategically situated, it was involved in the turbulent history of the Highlands. Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Stuart Pretender to the throne, rested for two nights in the Castle on his way to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The restoration of the ancient part of the castle involved the demolition of a greatly decayed 18th century wing. A large Victorian ballroom (not visible in the adjacent photograph) was, however, retained.
The castle, restored by the Menzies Clan Society after 1957, is an example of architectural transition between an earlier tradition of rugged fortresses and a later one of lightly defensible 'châteaux'. The walls are of random rubble, originally harled (roughcast), but the quoins, turrets and door and window surrounds are of finely carved blue freestone. This attractive and extremely hard-weathering stone was also used for the architectural details and monuments at the nearby Old Kirk of Weem, which was built by the Menzies family and contains their monuments and funeral hatchments. A marriage stone above the original entrance was installed by James Menzies in 1571, to record his marriage to Barbara Stewart, daughter of the Earl of Atholl.
Duleep Singh, last Maharajah of the Sikh Empire, lived at Castle Menzies between 1855 and 1858, following his exile from the Punjab in 1854. He was officially the ward of Sir John Spencer Login and Lady Login, who leased the castle for him.
The Castle was the seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 500 years. Situated in a strategic location, it was involved in much of the turbulent history of the Highlands. During the second Jacobite rising the Castle first hosted both Bonnie Prince Charlie, who rested on his way to Culloden in 1746 and then, just four days later, the Duke of Cumberland, son of the British Monarch and commander of the Government forces.
Rescued as a ruin in 1957 by the then recently re-formed Menzies Clan Society, the Castle has been lovingly restored by generations of Society members and was placed into a charitable trust in 1993. It is open to all as a visitor attraction, museum, Clan centre for the Menzies Clan and venue for weddings, concerts and other hire. We use all proceeds exclusively for our continued restoration and maintenance of the Castle, its Walled Garden and the Old Kirk of Weem.
Because it has been restored from a ruin, you will find the Castle much less furnished and decorated than most other Scottish castles you may visit. But as a result, you get a much better feel for how it was built and what it's made of. Instead of plush carpets and furniture, you will find stone walls, shot holes, original timbers and lots of fascinating details. You are also able to visit almost every room in the Castle. You are not herded round by a guide but instead allowed to roam freely where you like.
I enjoyed this visit very much and definitely go back again!

Exploring Abandoned Cinema (Almost Died!)
Welcome to our new channel, this is our first video of some urban exploration.
Today we explored an abandoned cinema/theatre in Birmingham.
This building was an old cinema and then refurbished into a gala bingo hall which close in 2007 there was also a fire here in 2011 (online source -
Always take caution when doing these sort of things as you can see at around 17:57 a big chunk of the wall fell and almost took me out.

Old Photographs Aberfeldy Highland Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland video of old photographs of Aberfeldy, Highland Perthshire. Beyond its association with Robert Burns, who mentioned Aberfeldy in his poem The Birks of Aberfeldy, the town is known for Wade's Bridge, built in 1733 and designed by architect William Adam, father of the more famous Robert Adam. General Wade considered this bridge to be his greatest accomplishment.

Cinema & Regeneration Briefing
There is a growing recognition that community cinema, at a national and local level, can play an important role in tackling cultural isolation, improving health and well-being and sustaining community cohesion.
The Briefing identified the specific contribution social enterprise makes, bringing about positive social change through a range of activities. Two examples are included in this video: Driftwood (Dumfries and Galloway) and The Birks (Aberfeldy).
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.

Chocolate & Scottish Whisky Together?? | Dewars Aberfeldy Distillery Tour | Perth, Scotland [Ad]
Scottish whisky is world renowned but with chocolate? Today we head to Dewars Aberfeldy Distillery for a tour to see why Scotland is known for it's whisky and pair with chocolate! ⬇ More Below ⬇
Welcome back to Scotland! Today we wanted to learn more about why Scottish whisky is so well known, so we head to Dewars Aberfeldy for a distillery tour and tasting with chocolate pairings and what a day!
Whisky from Scotland is world renowned and we can understand why now. The distillery tour was eye opening to see how meticulous the process is and the love that goes into every bottle. We're honestly not big spirit drinkers but Dewars definitely positioned their distillery tour and whisky tasting to us in a way that was much more approachable - with chocolate! It's crazy how much the chocolate changes the profile of the whisky and now we're both a lot more open to whisky.
Having all the notes listed in front of us helped with the tasting as well, to an untrained drinker (us both haha) we really feel like our eyes are open to whisky now and will be looking for the Scottish magic around the world.

The Birks of Aberfeldy 6
Boxing Day 2007 - Walking in the Birks of Aberfeldy
Old Cinema To Reopen? THE NEW VICTORIA ACTION GROUP
Old Cinema To Reopen?
7.00PM Wed May 19 2010
A campaign's been launched to get one of the region's traditional cinemas reopened. The Preston Odeon opened as the New Victoria in 1928 and showed some of the greatest films in cinema history. When it closed, nearly 20 years ago, the building quickly fell into disrepair. Now it's up for sale - and campaigners want to buy it for future generations.
