Old Photographs Of Pitscottie Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Pitscottie, a small village in the Parish of Ceres, Fife, situated on the Ceres Burn at a road junction to the south of Dura Den and 3 miles south east of Cupar. The nearby Pitscottie Moor was a favourite meeting place of Covenanters during the late 17th century and during the 1820s the village became a centre of flax spinning. There is an 18th-century bridge over the Ceres Burn. ( Burn is the Scots word for stream or small river ) Robert Lindsay was born in 1532 at Pitscottie, in the parish of Ceres, Fife, which he held in lease at a later period. He was a Scottish chronicler, author of The Historie and Chronicles of Scotland, 1436 to 565, the first history of Scotland to be composed in Scots rather than Latin.
