Tour Scotland 4K sunny Winter travel video of houses by the coastal walking path on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Cellardyke by the Firth of Forth on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife. Cellardyke was formerly known as Nether Kilrenny, Scots for Lower Kilrenny, or Sillerdyke, and the harbour as Skinfast Haven, a name which can still be found on maps today. The harbour was built in the 16th century and was rebuilt in 1829. The modern name of the town is thought to have evolved from Sillerdykes, a reference to the sun glinting off fish scales encrusted on fishing nets left to dry in the sun on the dykes, or walls, around the harbour. The village is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Walking Path which passes through Cellardyke, it is a Scottish long distance walking footpath that runs from Kincardine to Newburgh. It runs for 117 miles along the coastline of Fife and passes through many seaside towns and villages including Anstruther, Cellardyke, Crail, Elie, Lower Largo, Pittenweem and St Monans. The path would take around one week to walk completely from end to end. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March. Although I now live in Perthshire, I was raised in Cellardyke the East Neuk of Fife. All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
