Winter Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music To Parish Church On Visit To Inverkeithing Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a sunny and cold weather road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, along the High Street to the parish church of St. Peter on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Inverkething in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. There has been a church on this site since the fifth century, when St. Erat, who was a follower of St Ninian, established a small church here. This was later replaced by a Norman church in the twelfth century, but it appears that St. Erat continued as the dedication.The church and its associated lands were granted to Dunfermline abbey in the twelfth century. After this, in the early thirteenth century, the Norman church was replaced by a Gothic building. The tower on the western side of the church was added in the fourteenth century. The church was destroyed by fire in 1825 and replaced by the present building. The four sided lead spire was added in 1852, having replaced the earlier 1731 spire which was probably stone built. The four gabled dormers which encase clock faces were added in 1883. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. 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.
