Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on rural route on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to and trip to Scotlandwell, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Scotlandwell lies to the east of Loch Leven and at the foot of the Bishop Hill, 3 miles West of Leslie in Fife. A hospital established here on the site of an early Celtic foundation was gifted to the Red Friars in the 13th Century. Described in early charters as Fons Scotia, the hospital and village became a centre of pilgrimage, the Friars using spring water to cure an assortment of diseases. King Robert the Bruce, who came to be cured of leprosy, held a parliament here. There are a number of 18th and 19th century weavers houses here. On the hillside above the village are the remnants of a mediaeval runrig field system known locally as the Crooked Rigs. 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. The date for astronomical Summer in Scotland is Tuesday, 21 June, ending on Friday, 23 September. @tourscotland
