Tour Scotland Winter travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a morning road trip drive to Leuchars, Scottish Gaelic: Luachar meaning rushes, on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to North East Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The Barony of Leuchars is recorded during the reign of William the Lion born 1165, died 214. The 12th century St Athernase Church is one of the finest surviving examples of an unaisled Romanesque parish church in Scotland. The town had an adjoining Royal Air Force base, RAF Leuchars, which was established in 1920, and was home to the Eurofighter Typhoon. In 2015, the RAF base became an Army base, as the regimental headquarters of 2 Close Support Battalion REME and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, who saw their return to Scotland after 20 years in Germany, as coming home. Leuchars is seven miles North East of Cupar and six miles North West from the university town of St Andrews. The city of Dundee is seven miles to the North, across the rail and road bridges that span the Firth of Tay. 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
