Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of the Study and cobbled street on ancestry, Outlander genealogy, history visit and to Culross in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Many 16th and 17th century Scottish houses, and cobbled stoned streets can be seen when walking through the town. The narrow cobbled streets were designed functionally to make walking through the town a clean affair. The raised area in the centre of the cobbles was for the wealthy townsfolk to walk on, to ensure they did not get their shoes or feet dirty. A picturesque tall white harled house on the north side of the junction between Back Causeway and The Cross in Culross. The Study dates from 1610. This is said to be where Bishop Leighton of Dunblane, born 1611, died 1684, who lived nearby in Bishop Leighton's House, composed his sermons. Built as a merchant's house, next to Culross Palace one of the finest in Culross. The most complete example of a burgh in the 17th and 18th centuries, Culross is acknowledged as one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland, hence why it is so often used as a film and television location, including for hit US TV series, Outlander . 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.
