Spring Cherry Blossoms Kilrenny East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of cherry blossoms on a tree on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the cemetery in Kilrenny in the East Neuk of Fife. The first element of the name Kilrenny is from the Scottish Gaelic cill, meaning, church. The renny element may perpetuate a worn down form of Etharnan or Itharnan, an early churchman who died among the Picts in 669. The village was formerly Upper Kilrenny, until nearby Lower Kilrenny changed its name to Cellardyke in the 16th century. For just a few weeks of the year, Scotland is peppered with stunning pockets of pink as cherry tree blossom comes into full bloom.
