Tour Scotland Winter 4K Boxing Day travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish fiddle music, North on a long narrow road on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Lomond Hills in Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The Lomond Hills have been occupied by people in Hill Forts for at least 2,700 years, if not longer, straddling the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and Picts. The Lomond Hills where shaped by volcanic activity and many climates, including hot deserts, tropical humidity and several Ice Ages over millions of years. The Lomond Hills peaks are two extinct now filled volcanic pipes Between 19 000 and 13 000 years ago the area was covered by ice, which sculpted the underlying landscape. The limestone is overlain by a fine grained buff-coloured mudstone, containing occasional plant fossils. The Lomond Hills, meaning either beacon hills or bare hills, also known outwith the locality as the Paps of Fife, are a range of hills in central Scotland. They lie in western central Fife and Perth and Kinross, Perthshire. At 1,713 feet, West Lomond is the highest point in the county of Fife. The early chiefs of Clan MacDuff were the original Earls of Fife, although this title went to the Stewarts of Albany in the late fourteenth century. The title returned to the MacDuff chief when William Duff was made Earl Fife in 1759. His descendant Alexander Duff was made Duke of Fife in 1889.
