Tour Scotland travel video of a Winter snow road trip drive, with Scottish music, to and through Falkland village on visit to Fife. One of the first scenes for Outlander was filmed in the picturesque town of Falkland, which substituted for 1940s Inverness in the Highlands, Falkland is where Claire and Frank stay on their second honeymoon. The Covenanter Hotel feature as Mrs Baird's guesthouse; the Bruce Fountain, where the ghost of Jamie looks up at Claire's room; Lomond Pharmacy which doubles as Campbell's Coffee Shop; and Fayre Earth Gift Shop as Farrell's Hardware and Furniture Store, where Claire stops to look at a vase in the window. Falkland Palace is a royal palace of the Scottish Kings. Before Falkland Palace was built a hunting lodge existed on the site in the 12th century. This lodge was expanded in the 13th century and became a castle which was owned by the Earls of Fife, the famous Clan MacDuff. The castle was built here because the area could be easily defended as it was on a slight hill. The surrounding land eventually became the Palace gardens.
During the coronavirus pandemic I have been a volunteer driver doing some shopping etc; for elderly Scots. From Tuesday 5 January, mainland Scotland moved from Level 4 to a temporary Lockdown. Snow is set to sweep across Britain once again at the end of the month as an Arctic freeze looks set to grip the country, according to the latest weather forecast.
