Tour Scotland Travel Video Winter Drive To Parish Church In Auchtermuchty Fife

Tour Scotland Winter travel video Blog of a sunny, though cold, Winter road trip drive, with music, North on the B936 road from Falkland through the small village of Dunshalt on ancestry visit to the parish church and cemetery in Auchtermuchty, Fife, Scotland. Auchtermuchty Church was first consecrated on 31 March 1245. In 1350, Duncan, the last MacDuff and Earl of Fife, gifted it to the Abbey of Lindores, out of gratitude for his escape at the battle of Durham and from subsequent captivity. At the Reformation the parish was placed under the charge of Alexander Fairny, reader, who held that office from 1567 to 1574. The first Protestant minister, one Henry Leitch, was installed in the parish in 1592. The present church was built on a rising in the town in 1780. The video starts in Falkland then turns right at T-junction on the A912 road, before running along a dead straight road, climbing gently before it crosses a narrow bridge over the River Eden into Dunshalt. After several bends the road reaches Auchtermuchty.
