Tour Scotland Photographs Video Old Church St Monans East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of the old church by the sea in St Monans, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. St Monans Church is situated within its kirkyard just to the west of the village on the very edge of the sea. It has a very dramatic setting, perched on a low rock, reached over a small valley with a burn. As seen from most directions it has the sea as a backdrop. A more modern cemetery stands further westwards on the upper slopes of the little hill. This contains the local war memorial. Standing at the extreme west end of this a romantic ruin can be viewed across fields, again perched on the sea edge. It is often said that St Monans is the church nearest the sea in the whole of Scotland.

Tour Scotland Video Whisky Tasting Tullibardine Distillery Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of Whisky Tasting at Tullibardine Distillery in Perthshire, Scotland. Tullibardine distillery nestles at the foot of the Ochil Hills in Perthshire, at the gateway to the Highlands of Scotland. Tullibardine Highland Malt Scotch whisky is generally recognised as an easy drinking malt. It is smooth and mellow on the palate with a fruity flavour and has a clean crisp finish. On nosing, it provides the recipient with a fresh, floral scent with hints of vanilla and chocolate orange. Distilled from the purest highland spring water, Tullibardine's qualities make it an ideal introductory malt scotch whisky. In this video a group from Finland enjoy a few drams.

Tour Scotland Video St Andrews Cathedral

Tour Scotland video of Cathedral in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The 16th Century precinct wall encloses the cathedral ruins and the church of St Regulus also known as St Rule. The imposing St Regulus Church with its lofty western tower may well have been the shrine built to shelter the relics of Saint Andrew. Queen Margaret's son, Alexander I, nominated Robert, Prior of Scone as Bishop of St Andrews, and it was he who built the church between 1127 and 1144. The Square Tower has a magnificent panorama of St Andrews. Bishop Robert founded the priory around 1159 and his successor Bishop Arnold began work on the new cathedral, which was consecrated in 1318 by Bishop Lamberton in the presence of Robert the Bruce. Only the 12th Century east end, late 13th Century west gables and the south wall of the nave remain of this once immense building with its 10 bay nave. Following the troubles of the Reformation. subsequent neglect and 17th Century quarrying for stone, this once noble building was reduced to the the ruins you can see now. The remains of what was Scotland's largest and most magnificent church and the graveyard are most definitely worth a visit.
