Tour Scotland early Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive from St Andrews, through Guardbridge, on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Dairsie in North East Fife. The village of Dairsie is located on the A91 Stirling to St Andrews road. The village grew out of two smaller settlements, called Dairsiemuir and Osnaburgh, and developed principally around the industry of weaving. Since the late twentieth century it has become a dormitory settlement for nearby towns. The village may have derived its name of Osnaburgh from weaving osnaburg, a coarse linen or cotton, originally imported from Osnabrück in Germany.
