Spring Daffodils Viewpoint On History Visit To Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of daffodils at the view from the scenic viewpoint at West Braes on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the old fishing village of Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The white houses with red roofs illustrate the classic East Neuk building style, influenced by trade with the Low Countries, Belgium and the Netherlands. The East Neuk offered natural trading ports for Dutch and Belgian captains as they sailed up past the east coast of England. These ships brought red pantiles as ballast, and the locals soon found them to be excellent roofing material. In 1779 John Paul Jones, founder of the American Navy, anchored half a mile off Pittenweem in the USS Bonhomme Richard. Jones bombarded Anstruther, but did not attack Pittenweem. However he made off with the town's pilot who had sailed out to meet Jones' squadron. 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 Pittenweem. The path would take around one week to walk completely from end to end. Narcissus, or daffodils if you prefer, are a common yellow flower that also grow from a bulb. Flowering sometime between February and early May, these flowers can handle our harsh Scottish weather, and can grow in either sun or partial shade. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
