Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive from Pittenweem on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Originally founded as a fishing village, Anstruther is home to the Scottish Fisheries Museum. Its main industry is now tourism. David Martin, born 1st of April 1737, died 30 December 1797, was a British painter and engraver. Born in Anstruther, he studied in London, England and Italy, before gaining a reputation as a portrait painter. Martin painted over 300 portraits in his lifetime. One of the earliest independent ones is the 1767 one of Benjamin Franklin, now in the White House, Washington, DC, America. The Fife Coastal Walking Path goes through Pittenweem and Anstruther 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
