Tour Scotland Video The Wind On Loch Fyne Scottish Country Dance Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of The Wind On Loch Fyne Scottish Country Dance at the food market on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The Dunedin Dancers are a wonderful Scottish Dancing group from Edinburgh. Loch Fyne is a sea loch on the west coast of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It extends 40 miles inland from the Sound of Bute, making it the longest of the sea lochs. Loch Fyne has a reputation for its oyster fishery, and as a consequence the loch has given its name to the locally owned Loch Fyne Oysters and to the associated Loch Fyne Restaurants. It is also notable for its herring fishing industry, and hence the famous Loch Fyne Kipper, originally caught using the drift net method. In the mid 19th century, Loch Fyne was the centre of the battle between the traditional drift net fishermen and the new trawl net fishermen who sprang up around Tarbert and Campbeltown in 1833.

Old Photograph St. Abb's Head Lighthouse Scotland

Old photograph of St. Abb's Head Lighthouse in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. St. Abb's Head is a rocky promontory at the village of St. Abbs, Berwickshire. A signal station was established on the cliffs before 1820 and the facilities were shared by Trinity House and Her Majesty's Coastguard. The Northern Lighthouse Board recommended the building of a lighthouse at St. Abbs Head after the sinking of the Martello on Carr Rock in 1857. The lighthouse was designed and built by the brothers David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and assisted navigation before and after sight of the Bell Rock and Isle of May lights disappeared from view. The light began service on 24 February 1862 and initially used oil to generate its light, it was converted to incandescent power in 1906 and to electricity in 1966 and finally automated in 1993. Before automation the lighthouse was staffed by three full-time keepers whose duties included keeping detailed weather records.

Tour Scotland Video Night Walk In Rain To The Fish And Chip Shop In Scone By Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a night walk in the rain to visit the Fish and Chip Shop in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland.

Fish and chips became a stock meal among the working classes in Scotland and England as a consequence of the rapid development of trawl fishing in the North Sea, and the development of railways which connected the ports to major industrial cities during the second half of the 19th century, so that fresh fish could be rapidly transported to the heavily populated areas. British fish and chips were originally served in a wrapping of old newspapers but this practice has now largely ceased, with plain paper, cardboard or plastic being used instead.

Old Photograph Mill Tyninghame Scotland

Old photograph of the sawmill in Tyninghame, East Lothian, Scotland. Tyninghame is an ancient Scottish parish. The oldest extant records give the superiors of the lands of Tyninghame as the Archdiocese of Saint Andrews, doubtless because of its connexions with Saint Baldred. From at least the end of the 11th century the lands were occupied by the Lauder of The Bass family, and in 1628 passed to the Earl of Haddington. In 1761 the Earl of Haddington moved Tyninghame village from its original position, to the west of the policies of Tyninghame House to make way for landscaped parkland.

Municipal buildings like town halls, hospitals, and fire stations reveal much about the people who built them. They attest to the expanding power of the state as it took over administrative capabilities from the parish in the nineteenth century. Victorian and Edwardian buildings were often grand and lavish, whilst less extravagant styles prevailed before and afterwards.

Old Photograph Fisherman Fair Isle Scotland

Old photograph of a fisherman wearing a knitted jumper on Fair Isle, Scotland. Fair Isle is a traditional knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colours. It is named after Fair Isle, a tiny island that forms part of the Shetland islands. Fair Isle knitting gained a considerable popularity when the Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VIII, wore Fair Isle tank tops in public in 1921. Traditional Fair Isle patterns have a limited palette of five or so colours, use only two colours per row, are worked in the round, and limit the length of a run of any particular colour.

This village, which is pleasantly situated, is inhabited chiefly by persons employed in agriculture, and in hand-loom weaving for the linen manufacturers of Cupar, under the inspection of a resident agent who furnishes the materials. Previously to the introduction of machinery, several of the females were employed in spinning yarn; but, at present, there is only one spinning wheel in operation.

Old Photograph Annie Swan's House Kinghorn Fife Scotland

Old photograph of Annie Swan's house in Kinghorn, Fife, Scotland. Annie Shepherd Swan, born 8 July 1859, died 17 June 1943, was a Scottish journalist, novelist and story writer. She used her maiden name for most of her literary career, but also wrote as David Lyall and later Mrs Burnett Smith. She was a popular writer of romantic fiction for young women during the Victorian era and published more than 200 novels, serials, short stories and other fiction between 1878 and her death in 1943. Annie was one of the seven children of Edward Swan, a farmer and merchant, by his first wife, Euphemia Brown. After her father's business failed, she attended school in Edinburgh, latterly at the Queen Street Ladies College. Her father belonged to an Evangelical Union congregation, but she turned in adulthood to the Church of Scotland. She persistently wrote fiction as a teenager. She Swan married the schoolteacher James Burnett Smith in 1883. They lived initially in Fife, where she became close friends with the Scottish theologian Robert Flint and his sister. They moved two years later to Morningside, Edinburgh, where Burnett Smith became a medical student, and in 1893 to London, where their two children, Effie and Eddie were born.

Old Photograph Gravestone Eye Church Isle Of Lewis Scotland

Old photograph of a gravestone in Eye church, Aignish, Island of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Carved in hornblende schist, this gravestone depicts a knight with pointed helmet, said to be Roderick, 7th Chief of the Macleods of Lewis the last of Macleod chiefs who died around 1498. It is believed that St Catan, a contemporary of Columba, established a cell at Aignish on the island of Lewis. The buildings that stand there now date from the 14th century and from two separate construction phases. The church was dedicated to St Columba and is known variously as St Columba's (Uidh), Eye Church and Eaglais na h-Aoidh. It was used as an Episcopalian church until 1829 when a new Thomas Telford church was built nearby during a time when evangelical Scottish Presbyterianism was sweeping across the islands. The graveyard at Eye Church is the burial place for around nineteen of the Chiefs of the Macleods of Lewis.

Old Photograph Cluny Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Cluny Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle is located South of Monymusk and north of Sauchen. Owned by three separate branches of Gordon families over the centuries, it was used to shelter Jacobite rebels in the mid 18th century. Extensive additions were made in 1820 to the design of architect John Smith when it was in the ownership of Colonel John Gordon. King Robert the Bruce granted the lands of Cluny to his sister Mary's husband, Alexander Fraser. The lands passed down through the family, via Adam Gordon of Huntly and the Earls of Huntly, to John Gordon, a younger son of the 3rd Earl. His son Sir Thomas Gordon built the castle to replace an earlier house or peel tower. The lands were inherited by his son, Alexander Gordon, who became the fourth laird of Cluny. By 1636 the cost of building the castle combined with other financial difficulties caused ownership of the lands to be transferred. The castle had various owners, probably creditors, until 1680 when it became the property of Robert Gordon, of the Gordonstoun branch of the family. It remained in the hands of this family until the mid 18th century. The Gordons of Cluny were implicated in the Jacobite Rising of 1745, and had also incurred debts. This resulted in the castle passing to a third branch of the Gordon family around 1753. The new proprietor John Gordon was of obscure origins. He was an Edinburgh merchant as well as a factor to Cosmo Gordon, 3rd Duke of Gordon. John Gordon's son was also named Cosmo and he inherited the estate on his father's death in 1769. He did some work at the castle, although records give no indication of what was involved. Plans for a re-design were commissioned from Robert Adam in 1790 and from his business partner and younger brother James in 1793, though this work was never carried out. Pre-deceased by his wife, Mary Baillie, Cosmo Gordon died without issue in 1800 and was succeeded by his brother Charles. When Charles died on 8 May 1814, various bequests were made to his children; his eldest son John, later an army colonel and a member of Parliament, inherited Cluny and the remainder of the properties plus £30,000. No money had been spent on the estate during the years it was owned by Charles Gordon. It was under the ownership of Colonel Gordon that extensive additions were made to the castle, commencing around 1820.

Old Photograph Harbour Cellardyke East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and people by the harbour in Cellardyke in the East Neuk 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 between 1829 and 1831. The modern name of the fishing village is thought to have evolved from Sillerdykes, meaning silver walls, a reference to the sun glinting off fish scales encrusted on fishing nets left to dry in the sun on the dykes around the harbour. Cellardyke and Kilrenny were together a royal burgh from 1592, having been a burgh of regality since 1578. Fishing was a dangerous 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.

Old Photograph Gothenburg Hall Kelty Fife Scotland

Old photograph of Gothenburg Hall in Kelty, Fife, Scotland. Gothenburg Public Hall was built in 1910 by the Gothenburg Temperance Society as a Cinema. The clock tower was added in 1925 as a gift to the people of Kelty from the Gothenburg society. The building was demolished in 1976. The Gothenburg or Trust Public House system originated in the 1860s in Gothenburg, Sweden in an attempt to control the consumption of spirits. In Scotland, pubs run under the Gothenburg system are often colloquially known as " Goths. " There were several Goths in the Lothians, one each in Stirlingshire and Ayrshire and, prior to 1914, more than twenty in Fife, where the system took its strongest hold. The local coal companies were often a source of funds to establish these pubs and were usually a dominant force on the boards of the trusts, with the miners themselves usually holding representation and sometimes contributing in part to the capital.

Tour Scotland Video Chris White Singing High Street Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of Chris White singing a cover version of The Wind Beneath My Wings by Jeff Silbar and Larry Henley on the High Street on visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
