Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive on the A917 coastal road, with bagpipes music from St Monans on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Founded as a fishing village around a probably early Christian religious settlement, it grew along the shoreline from the west where the sheltered beaches were safe places for fishermen to draw their boats up out of the water. Later a breakwater was built, extending out from one of the rocky skerries that jut out south-west into the Firth of Forth like fingers. This allowed boats to rest at anchor rather than being beached, enabling larger vessels to use the port. The Fife Coastal Walking Path goes through Pittenweem and St Monans and runs from the Forth Estuary in the south, to the Tay Estuary in the north and stretches for 117 miles. Spring in the northern hemisphere technically starts on the 20 March, at the equinox, and lasts until the 20 or 21 June, the Summer solstice. This is also the case in Scotland.The months that make up the Spring season are March, April and May. However, for travelling at this time of year, I will be referring to April and May. 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
