Spring Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music On History Visit To Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive on the coastal road, with Scottish bagpipes music, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the viewpoint in Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Founded as a fishing village around a probably early Christian religious settlement, it grew along the shoreline from the west where the sheltered beaches were safe places for fishermen to draw their boats up out of the water. Later a breakwater was built, extending out from one of the rocky skerries that jut out south-west into the Firth of Forth like fingers. This allowed boats to rest at anchor rather than being beached, enabling larger vessels to use the port. The Fife Coastal Walking Path goes through Pittenweem and St Monans and runs from the Forth Estuary in the south, to the Tay Estuary in the north and stretches for 117 miles. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
