Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive North, over Kincardine Bridge on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Kincardine On Forth on the north shore of the Firth of Forth in Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Kincardine Bridge is a road bridge crossing the Firth of Forth from Kincardine on Forth in Fife to the Falkirk council area of Scotland. The bridge was constructed between 1932 and 1936, designed by Donald Watson. It was the first road crossing of the River Forth downstream of Stirling, completed nearly thirty years before the Forth Road Bridge, which stands fifteen miles to the South East. The bridge was constructed with a swinging central section which remained in use until 1988, that would allow larger ships to sail upstream to the small port at Alloa. The bridge is part of the A985 road, formerly A876, and carries a single lane in each direction. Perth, Perthshire is 35 miles from Kincardine Bridge. Kincardine, Scottish Gaelic: Cinn Chàrdainn, or Kincardine on Forth is a small town given the status of a burgh of barony in 1663. It was at one time a reasonably prosperous minor port. The name Kincardine, recorded in 1540 as Kincarne, may be of either Pictish or Gaelic origin. The second element is Pictish carden, conceivably loaned into Gaelic, meaning woodland or perhaps enclosure, encampment. The first element is the Gaelic ceann, meaning head end. The original form may have been Pencarden. 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. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip
