Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a cloudy weather morning road trip drive through the village and along Main Street to the beach in Lower Largo on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the coast of the East Neuk Of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Lower Largo or Seatown of Largo is a village in Fife, Scotland situated on Largo Bay on the north side of the Firth of Forth. An ancient fishing village, Lower Largo has gained fame as the 1676 birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. The Fife Coastal walking Path is a Scottish long distance walking footpath that runs from Kincardine to Newburgh. It runs for 117 miles along the coastline of Fife and passes through many seaside towns and villages including Lower Largo. The path would take around one week to walk completely from end to end. The village has changed little since the 1850s, when the arrival of the railway signalled the start of Lower Largo’s role as a tourist destination. However, although the Victorian visitors who holidayed in Lower Largo were captivated by the stunning sands of Largo Bay, fishing remained one of the village’s main industries. In the middle of the 19th century, over 40 herring boats were berthed at Lower Largo Harbour, coal from the Fife mines was loaded onto ships at the harbour’s pier and there was a regular ferry across the Forth to Newhaven. I was raised in the East Neuk Of Fife. 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
