Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a Christmas Lights night road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, around the City Centre on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to St Andrews, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. St Andrews is a former royal burgh and parish located 10 miles south east of Dundee and 30 miles north east of Edinburgh. The town is home to the University of St Andrews, the third oldest university in the English speaking world and the oldest in Scotland. The town is named after Saint Andrew the Apostle, who was a Galilean fisherman before he and his brother Simon Peter became disciples of Jesus Christ. He was crucified by the Romans on an X-shaped cross at Patras in Greece and, hundreds of years later, his remains were moved to Constantinople and then, in the 13th century, to Amalfi in southern Italy where they are kept to this day. Saint Andrew is not only the Patron Saint of Scotland but also Romania, Russia, Poland, Ukraine and Barbados. Christmas lights, also known informally as fairy lights, are lights used for decoration in preparation for Christmas and for display throughout Christmastide. The custom goes back to the use of candles to decorate the Christmas tree in Christian homes in early modern Germany. The first known electrically illuminated Christmas tree was the creation of Edward H. Johnson, an associate of inventor Thomas Edison, on December 22, 1882 at his home on Fifth Avenue in New York City, USA. A short drive along Bell Street, Market Street, South Street and back along Bell Street. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. 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
