Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video of a cloudy weather afternoon road trip drive, with Scottish music, North on the A915 route on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Largoward, East Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. This section of the road has a very different character to the western end, being more rural with only a few small villages. This is quickly proven as Upper Largo is soon left behind and the road winds through fields, climbing steadily up to a summit near Wester Newburn Farm on the flanks of Largo Law. A slight dip leads to another, easier climb after which the road drops down slightly into the village of Largoward a village lying on the road from Leven to St Andrews in the Riggin o Fife, 4½ miles north east of Lower Largo and 6½ miles south west of St Andrews. It is an agricultural and former mining village, one of the three main villages of the civil parish of Kilconquhar, along with Colinsburgh and the village of Kilconquhar. Coal must have been worked for a considerable length of time in the district, as it is recorded that coal was driven annually from Falfield, just north west of the village, to Falkland Palace for the use of King James VI. The name probably means Largo's field.. Largo parish and Largo Law being just west of the village. The name Largoward is recorded from the 18th century. Ward or waird is a Scots word meaning an enclosed piece of land, chiefly for pasture. 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
