Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a morning road trip drive, with Scottish music, along the narrow John Street, George Street and Shore Street on visit to the coastal walking path in Cellardyke in the East Neuk of Fife. This is where I was raised in Scotland. 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 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. I was raised in this old fishing village on the East coast and attended Cellardyke Primary School and Waid Academy in Anstruther. I was raised a Dyker. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March. The Fife Coastal walking Path 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 Cellardyke. The path would take around one week to walk completely from end to end. When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip.
