Tour Scotland Spring 4K travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of the old parish church on visit and trip to Creich, North Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. This now roofless church is on a knoll on sloping ground. It probably dates to the late fourteenth century. A south chapel was added on the south side in the sixteenth century, and it was rebuilt in 1621. The churchyard features well lettered nineteenth century headstones and a cast iron monument in the north east corner. Divine service was performed so late as the 9th December 1832. The church ruins are surrounded by the cemetery and in the immediate vicinity of the castle. In the interior of one of the walls are two niches, on the top of one of which is a coat of arms, which appears to be that of the Barclays of Collairnie. Spring in the United Kingdom depends on whether you are following the astronomical or metrological calendar. 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.
