Tour Scotland 4K Spring morning travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, through narrow streets, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dove Street in Cellardyke in the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Dove Street, formerly known as Pigeon Park Lane, was squeezed tightly behind Shore Street in the early 19th century. The name of long street at the West end of the coast of Cellardyke was first known as Main Street. In 1871 it was divided into three individual streets, and these were given the names of James Street, John Street and George Street, these being the forenames of prominent local councillors: James after James Fowler; John after Provost John Martin; George after George Sharp. In 1841, most of the families in the western part of Main Street, later to become James Street, were those of tradesmen and farm workers. Together with happening elsewhere in Britain, cholera hit the village of Cellardyke in both 1832 and 1849, and dozens died in the epidemic. Such was the fear of the inhabitants, that those who died were buried immediately. Cellardyke was formerly known as Nether Kilrenny, Scots for Lower Kilrenny, or Sillerdyke. I was raised in this old fishing village on the East coast and attended Cellardyke Primary School and Waid Academy in Anstruther. I was raised a Dyker. The Fife Coastal Walking Path goes through Cellardyke 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. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip
