This interesting surname is from the Middle English word, bene, meaning friendly, amiable; the name was given as a nickname for a pleasant person. In Scotland the origin is the Anglicized form of the Gaelic personal name, Beathan, a diminutive of, beatha, meaning, life. The name development since 1166 includes: Robertus filius Biene, 1168, in Cumberland), Ricardus filus Bene, 1278, in Lancashire, and Juliana Bean, 1301, in Yorkshire, England. The modern surname can be found as Beane, Been, McBean, McBain and McBayne. Among the sample recordings in London are the christening of Thomas, son of Francis and Emma Margaret Bean, on May 10th 1840 at St. Andrew's, Holborn, and the marriage of George Bean and Sarah Payne on October 22nd 1787 at Bermondsey.

Tour Scotland Winter Photograph Video Storm Waves Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland Winter video of storm waves at Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Until 1975 Pittenweem was a royal burgh, having been awarded the status by King James V in 1541. Founded as a fishing village around a probably early Christian religious settlement, it grew along the shoreline from the west where the sheltered beaches were safe places for fishermen to draw their boats up out of the water. Later a breakwater was built, extending out from one of the rocky skerries that jut out south-west into the Firth of Forth like fingers. This allowed boats to rest at anchor rather than being beached, enabling larger vessels to use the port. A new breakwater further to the east was developed over the years into a deep, safe harbour with a covered fish market. As the herring disappeared from local waters and the fishing fleet shrank, this harbour and its attendant facilities became the main harbour for the fishermen of the East Neuk of Fife.

Tour Scotland Winter Video Storm Waves Harbour Cellardyke East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland Winter travel video of storm waves at the harbour at Cellardyke by Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Cellardyke was formerly known as Nether Kilrenny, Scots for Lower Kilrenny, or Sillerdyke, and the harbour as Skinfast Haven, a name which can still be found on maps today. The harbour was built in the 16th century and was rebuilt in 1829. Cellardyke and Kilrenny were together a royal burgh from 1592, having been a burgh of regality since 1578. Cellardyke is officially part of Kilrenny parish, and also part of the Anstruther fishing district, its fortunes fluctuating with the fishing trade. The population grew fast in the 19th century and by the 1860s Cellardyke was a thriving town, with more than fifty boat owners and skippers year round, and one hundred other captains joining in for the annual herring fishing drive or Lammas drave which took place around the Lammas festival on August 1. There was also a February surge in fishing, when shoals of herring arrived in the Firth of Forth. The fish curers of Cellardyke salted and smoked cod and herring from Anstruther as well as their own fish, sending some to London, England, and some as far as the West Indies. Fishing was a hazardous occupation, and over the years a number of boats from Cellardyke were lost. On the 6th of April 1826 a boat was lost. Seven of the crew perished and one survived. On the 28th of May 1844 a boat with eight crew members was lost. Two years later, on the 23rd of April 1846 a boat with seven crew was lost. On the 3rd of November 1848 a boat with eight crew was lost. The next loss occurred on the 10th of May 1865, when a boat with eight crew disappeared. In 1910 a boat from Pittenweem sank off Cellardyke with the loss of three lives. There was one survivor. In addition, on the 1st of July 1837 a boat from Cellardyke carrying people on an excursion to the Isle of May as part of a celebration for the start of the herring fishing foundered. Seventeen women and children lost their lives. Like many harbours in Scotland, the fishing fleet that once occupied the harbour has been largely replaced by pleasure craft. Around 200 fishing boats were once based here but much of the fleet was destroyed by a storm in 1898, with most of those left intact relocating a short way down the coast to Anstruther. Cellardyke harbour is now home to a few small creel and pleasure boats.

Tour Scotland Winter Photograph Videos Storm Waves Castle Coast St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland Winter video of storm waves by the Castle and Coast in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. St Andrew's Castle is a ruin located on a rocky promontory overlooking a small beach called Castle Sands and the adjoining North Sea. During the Wars of Scottish Independence, the castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times as it changed hands between the Scots and the English. Soon after the sack of Berwick in 1296 by King Edward I of England, the castle was taken and made ready for the English king in 1303. In 1314, however, after the Scottish victory at the Battle of Bannockburn, the castle was retaken and repaired by Bishop William Lamberton, Guardian of Scotland, a loyal supporter of King Robert the Bruce. The English had recaptured it again by the 1330s and reinforced its defences in 1336, but to no avail. Sir Andrew Moray, Regent of Scotland in the absence of David II, recaptured it after a siege lasting three weeks. Shortly after this, in 1336, it was destroyed by the Scots to prevent the English from once again using it as a stronghold. It remained in this ruined state until Bishop Walter Trail rebuilt it at the turn of the century. His castle forms the basis of what can be seen today. He completed work on the castle in about 1400 and died within its walls in 1401. Several notable figures spent time in the castle over the next several years. King James I of Scotland, born 1406, died 1437, received part of his education from Bishop Henry Wardlaw, the founder of St Andrews University in 1410. A later resident, Bishop James Kennedy, was a trusted advisor of James II of Scotland. In 1445 the castle was the birthplace of King James III of Scotland. During those years, the castle also served as a notorious prison. The castle's bottle dungeon is a dank and airless pit cut out of solid rock below the north west tower. It housed local miscreants who fell under the Bishop's jurisdiction as well as several more prominent individuals such as David Stuart, Duke of Rothesay in 1402, Duke Murdoch in 1425, and Archbishop Patrick Graham, who was judged to be insane and imprisoned in his own castle in 1478.
