Tour Scotland 4K travel video of a sunny Winter road trip drive, with Scottish music, to and through Kingsbarns and onwards on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the harbour in St Andrews in North East Fife. The parish church in Kingsbarns was built around 1630, and substantially altered between 1810 and 1811 by Robert Balfour. The church faces south towards The Square, the central focus of the village of Kingsbarns. It is surrounded by a graveyard on all sides, encircled by a substantial coped wall. St Andrews harbour is an estuary haven formed in the tidal mouth of the Kinness Burn. A fishing harbour is mentioned as early as 1222, and another medieval record dates from 1363. The long pier was rebuilt in 1656 with stone largely taken from the Castle. Though I now live in Scone by Perth in Perthshire, I lived for 12 years in St Andrews. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March.
