Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of sunset by the coastal walking path on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the harbour in Cellardyke by the Firth of Forth on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. I was raised in this old fishing village on the East coast and attended Cellardyke Primary School and Waid Academy in Anstruther. 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. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, Spring starts on 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
