Tour Scotland Video Kirkcaldy and District Pipe Band Thornton Highland Gathering Fife

Tour Scotland video of Kirkcaldy and District Pipe Band at the Scottish Highland Gathering in Memorial Park, Thornton on ancestry visit to Fife, Scotland.. There is a strong ethic within the band to encourage the learning of piping and drumming to the wider community.

In 1882, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Thornton like this: Thornton, a village in the South of Markinch parish, Fife, near the left bank of the River Ore, and near Thornton Junction on the North British railway, this being 15¼ miles East North East of Dunfermline, 20 miles North East of Edinburgh, and 8 miles South of Ladybank Junction. It has a post office under Kirkcaldy, a public school, and an Established church.
