Winter Drive With Music Through Outlander Location On Visit To Falkland Village Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, through Falkland village on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. One of the first scenes for Outlander was filmed in the picturesque town of Falkland, which substituted for 1940s Inverness in the Highlands, Falkland is where Claire and Frank stay on their second honeymoon. The Covenanter Hotel feature as Mrs Baird's guesthouse; the Bruce Fountain, where the ghost of Jamie looks up at Claire's room; Lomond Pharmacy which doubles as Campbell's Coffee Shop; and Fayre Earth Gift Shop as Farrell's Hardware and Furniture Store, where Claire stops to look at a vase in the window. Falkland Palace is a royal palace of the Scottish Kings. Before Falkland Palace was built a hunting lodge existed on the site in the 12th century. This lodge was expanded in the 13th century and became a castle which was owned by the Earls of Fife, the famous Clan MacDuff. The castle was built here because the area could be easily defended as it was on a slight hill. The surrounding land eventually became the Palace gardens. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
