Tour Scotland 4K late Summer early Autumn travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive North on the B981 route, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Crossgates in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Croosgates is located close to the junction of the M90 and A92, about two miles east of Dunfermline and a similar distance south west of Cowdenbeath. The village name means crossroads: it is situated at the point where the main Dunfermline-Kirkcaldy road crosses the old Great North Road from Inverkeithing to Perth, Perthshire. Crossgates has a long history of mining, both deep and opencast. In the days of cattle droving the blacksmiths of Crossgates made shoes for cattle and in the 18th Century coal from the surrounding area was first transported by wagonway to St David's Harbour on Inverkeithing Bay. 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. According to the meteorological calendar, the first day of Autumn or Fall always falls on September 1. If you follow the astrological calendar, however, Autumn or Fall begins on Saturday, September 23.
