Tour Scotland Travel Video Sunny Spring Drive From St Andrews To Crail East Neuk Of Fife



Tour Scotland travel video of a sunny road trip drive from St Andrews on ancestry visit to Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Crail became a Royal Burgh in the 12th century. Robert the Bruce granted permission to hold markets on a Sunday, in the Marketgait, where the Mercat Cross now stands in Crail. The decision caused such outrage in religious circles that John Knox delivered a sermon at Crail Parish Church in the Marketgait damning the fishermen of the East Neuk for working on a Sunday. Despite the protests, the markets were a huge success and were amongst the largest in Europe.
