Kitchen In 18th Century Town House With Music On History Visit To Edinburgh Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4k travel video clip, with Scottish music, of a kitchen in an 18th century house on history visit to the New Town in the capital city of Edinburgh, Britain, United Kingdom. Kitchen fixtures were simple and utilitarian, and a well constructed sink of either wood lined with zinc, stoneware, or lined with cemented tiles were often used. A large work table was the most important article of furniture, and the drawers at each end contained the cook’s tools, such as knives and spoons, and small utensils and implements in constant use. A kitchen always contained a full array of utensils. There were the stewpans and saucepans of tin, copper, brass, enameled iron, and wrought steel. Other must have utentils were weights and scales, a mincing machine, steak tongs, knives, a colander, a pestle and mortar, a chopping board and bowl, preserving pans, sieves, coffee and pepper mills, baking dishes. House was a real statement of luxury in an era of enlightenment, for those who could afford it. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
