Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish accordion music, North on the A917 coastal route from Boarhills to the city walls and harbour on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to St Andrews, North East Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. John Hepburn, who died in 1522, ordered a wall to be constructed around the city cathedral and its buildings following various repairs. Work on the new wall continued under his successor and nephew Prior Patrick Hepburn. In 1683, a total of sixteen towers were arranged along its length; thirteen remain standing and traces of a fourteenth can be traced on the ground. St Andrews harbour is an estuary haven formed in the tidal mouth of the Kinness Burn. A fishing harbour is mentioned as early as 1222, and another medieval record dates from 1363. 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 in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, Spring starts on 1st March. The Fife Coastal Walking Path goes through St Andrews and runs from the Forth Estuary in the south, to the Tay Estuary in the north and stretches for 117 miles
