Tour Scotland short late Summer early Autumn 4K travel video clip of the Swilcan Bridge or Swilken Bridge, or Swilcan as it was known, a small stone bridge which spans the Swilcan Burn between the first and eighteenth fairways on the Old Golf Course on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to St Andrews, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. This is a famous small stone bridge which has itself become an important cultural icon in the sport of golf. The bridge had previously been known as the Golfers’ Bridge, and had been known as this for hundreds of years. The bridge itself is extremely small; at its farthest extent it measures about 30 feet long, eight feet wide and six feet tall, in the style of a simple Roman arch. Originally built at least 700 years ago to help shepherds get livestock across. On the second floor of the World Golf Hall of Fame museum in St. Augustine, Florida, America, there is a life-size stone replica of the Swilcan Bridge. 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. 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.
