River Orchy Bridge Of Orchy Scottish Highlands Scotland

Old tour Scotland video of the River Orchy and the Bridge Of Orchy on visit to the Scottish Highlands. Located at the head of Glen Orchy, it is on the A82 road, has a railway station and is on the West Highland Way long distance path. Nearby prominent peaks include the munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dòthaidh. The bridge was constructed by Government forces as part of a programme of pacification of the Highland Clans which involved the construction of military roads from the Lowlands into the much wilder upland areas of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the finest whitewater rivers in the United Kingdom.

Killin is a village situated at the western head of Loch Tay in Stirling, Scotland. The west end of the village is magnificently sited around the scenic Falls of Dochart, the main street leading down towards the Loch at the confluence of the rivers Dochart and Lochay. The falls are crossed by a narrow, multi-arched stone bridge carrying the main A827 road into Killin.

Killin railway station was on the Killin Railway. The railway station was officially closed on 1 November 1965. Killin has a small primary school with 56 pupils. For secondary education the children have to travel to Callander, 21 miles to the south. The nearest Gaelic medium primary is in Stirling, 37 miles to the south.

The MacNab Clan were once dominant here, and have long been associated with Killin. Their ancient burial ground is on Inchbuie in the River Dochart, just below the falls, and is visible from the bridge. Kinnell House was the seat of the MacNabs. A well-preserved prehistoric stone circle (possibly 'restored' to improve its appearance) known as Killin Stone Circle can be seen in the grounds of the house. To the north of the village lie the ruins of the Campbells of Breadalbane stronghold of Finlarig Castle, with its associated chapel. The growing power of the Campbells eventually ousted the MacNabs, who lost Kinnell House to their rivals. In 1694 Sir John Campbell of Glenorchy, 1st Earl of Breadalbane established Killin as a Burgh of barony. In 1949 Kinnell House and its estate returned to the ownership of the Chief of Clan Macnab, but in 1978 death duties forced the then Chief, James Charles Macnab of Macnab, to sell most of the estate.

In 1767 the minister of Killin, James Stuart, published the first New Testament in Scottish Gaelic. By the end of the 18th century there was a local linen industry. Flax was grown locally, spun in small mills and woven into linen by home based weavers. Today, Killin services the local rural community and the growing tourism and leisure industries. In addition to walking on Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve, fishing for trout and salmon there are various watersports available on Loch Tay. Many local vernacular buildings have been preserved or converted, allowing the village to retain much of its historic character.

The 19th century Moirlanich Longhouse in nearby Glen Lochay is a rare surviving example of the cruck frame Scottish longhouse, and is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. The former Breadalbane Folklore Centre in the Victorian mill by the falls displays the 'healing stones' of Saint Fillan.

Tomnadashan Mine, an abandoned copper mine overlooking the village, is sometimes identified as the haunt of the Rabbit of Caerbannog of Monty Python and the Holy Grail fame. Nearby Glen Lochay is the mysterious location to which Richard Hannay, played by Robert Donat, heads in the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film of The 39 Steps.

Drone | The West Highland way: Glencoe - Fort William

The #West Highland way is #154Km or 96miles long distance route through some of the #best #landscapes in #Scotland. Especially the last part of the route. The route starts at Milngavie passes through Mugdock Country Park, follows the shores of Loch Lomond, passing Ben Lomond, through and finishes at #Gordon Square in #Fort William.

We walked the last 60 km of this track from the bridge of #Orchy to #Fort William. Our backpacks did not only contain the general necessities like water and food but also a phantom 4….....With exceptionally good weather (read: it did not rain) we shot some beautiful aerial footage of the unspoiled Scottish landscape along the West Highland way.

This video shows the beautiful, unspoiled and spectacular Scottish landscape between #Glencoe Resort and #Fort William including the famous Devil’s Staircase, Loch Leven, Lairigmor. Some of them are located in the designated National Scenic Area.

Ascent Of Carnedd Llewelyn, Snowdonia 10 September 2015

Not just Carnedd Llewelyn (the third highest mountain in England and Wales at 3491ft.), but also ascents of Drum (2526ft), Foel-fras (3091ft), Garnedd Uchaf (3038ft.) and Foel Grach (3202ft.). Yes, an epic 18 mile out and back walk from the village of Llanfairfechan on the North Wales coast along the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia. This is the longest walk I have done in years. If you are thinking of following in my footsteps and are unfamiliar with the area, I would advise not going further than the summit of Foel Fras if the cloud is down- you have the fence and wall to guide you that far. Also note that the actual ascent and descent of Carnedd Llewelyn itself is VERY steep and it is also pathless and rocky. I apologise for the wind noise in the video but it was very windy at times on the walk. The walk took place in mainly bright , but windy, weather on Thursday 10 September 2015.
