Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Cairneyhill in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The village located three miles West of Dunfermline, is a mix of old weavers' cottages and modern suburban housing estates. The name is Scots language for rocky hill, and the village is, in fact, on a noticeable hill. The village grew in the 18th century as a settlement for local weavers and was served by the parish church that was built in 1752 and is still used today. This was a hotbed of dissenters and the village was a central point for the religious disputes in Scotland in the early 19th century. James Donaldson, John Gilmour, William Hodge, Henry Arnot, Robert Smeaton, William Black, Alexander Deas, Andrew McNair, James McNair, George Paterson, James Paterson, William Paterson, Henry Fotheringham, Thomas Fotheringham, Alexander Erskine, David Gilmour, John Wightman, Thomas Dobbie and Peter Keir were Linen Hand Loom Weavers in Cairneyhill in 1841.
