Tour Scotland Photograph Video Drive To Ballinbreich Castle North Fife



Tour Scotland video of a November drive to visit Ballinbreich Castle on ancestry visit to North North Fife, Scotland. This is a ruined tower house castle built in the 13th century by Clan Leslie. It is a three storey L-plan castle that overlooks the Firth of Tay. Ballinbreich Castle, also known as Bambreich, was a magnificent structure in its day. It was three to four stories high and had a Great Hall that was 46 feet long and 17 feet wide. Sadly, the Barony of Ballinbreich was sold by John 10th Earl of Rothes to Sir Lawrence Dundas for just £20,000. Sir Lawrence Dundas promptly recovered the amount he had paid by cutting down and selling the trees in Ballinbreich. The Barony of Ballinbreich was later sold to finance the reconstruction of Leslie House that had been burnt down in 1763.

Tour Scotland Video Vintage Fordson Tractor Ploughing Fife


Tour Scotland video of a vintage Fordson tractor ploughing in a field between Kingskettle and Ladybank on visit to Fife, Scotland. This was part of a Fife Vintage Agricultural Machinery Club Plowing Match. American engineer, inventor, and businessman Henry Ford built experimental tractors from automobile components during the early 20th century, and launched a prototype known as the Model B in August 1915. Further prototypes, with a dedicated tractor design, followed in 1916. With World War I raging in Europe, the first regular-production Henry Ford & Son tractors were exported to the U.K. in 1917 to expand British agriculture. In 1918, exports continued, the tractors began to be labeled as Fordsons, and U.S. domestic sales began. Sales boomed in 1918 and 1919.

Tour Scotland video Vintage John Deere Tractor Ploughing Fife


Tour Scotland travel video of a vintage John Deere tractor ploughing in a field between Kingskettle and Ladybank on visit to Fife. This was part of a Fife Vintage Agricultural Machinery Club Plowing Match. Deere & Company began when John Deere, born in Rutland, Vermont, USA on February 7, 1804, moved to Grand Detour, Illinois in 1836 in order to escape bankruptcy in Vermont. Already an established blacksmith, Deere opened a 1,378 square feet shop in Grand Detour in 1837 which allowed him to serve as a general repairman in the village, as well as a manufacturer of small tools such as pitchforks and shovels. Small tools was just a start, the item that set him apart, was the self-scouring steel plow, which was pioneered in 1837 when John Deere fashioned a Scottish steel saw blade into a plow. Prior to Deere's steel plow, most farmers used iron or wooden plows that the rich Midwestern soil stuck to and had to be cleaned frequently. The smooth sided steel plow solved this problem, and greatly aided migration into the American Great Plains in the 19th and early 20th century.
