Tour Scotland Video Young Scots Folk Festival Stonehaven



Tour Scotland video of young Scots musicians at the Folk Festival in Stonehaven Scotland. Stonehaven is a town in Aberdeenshire. It lies on Scotland's north east coast. After the demise of the town of Kincardine, which was gradually abandoned after the destruction of its Royal castle in the Wars of Independence, the Scottish Parliament made Stonehaven the successor county town of Kincardineshire. Stonehaven had grown around an Iron Age fishing village, and expanded inland from the seaside. As late as the 16th century, old maps indicate the town was called Stonehyve, Stonehive, Pont also adding the alternative Duniness. It is known informally to locals as Stoney.
