Tour Scotland Video Old Photographs Ceres Fife

Tour Scotland video of old photographs of Ceres, Fife, Scotland. Ceres is located in a small glen approximately 2 miles over the Ceres Moor from Cupar and 7 miles from St Andrews. The Ceres Burn runs through the village and alongside the green. An old packhorse bridge, known as the Bishop's Bridge has spanned the burn since the 17th century. The village is dominated by the Parish Church. It has what is possibly the shortest High Street in Scotland, just a few houses on each side. In a prominent position by the Bow Butts is a monument commemorating the men of Ceres who fought in the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. It was erected on the six hundredth anniversary of the battle, in 1914. The Ceres Games are said to have been held every year since 1314 after Robert the Bruce granted the village permission to hold them in commemoration of its men's participation in the Battle of Bannockburn. Now staged in the form of Highland games, they are the oldest free games in Scotland. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
