Summer Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music To Parish Church On Visit To Inverkeithing Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K late Summer travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, to and along the High Street to the parish church of St. Peter on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Inverkething in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. There has been a church on this site since the fifth century, when St. Erat, who was a follower of St Ninian, established a small church here. This was later replaced by a Norman church in the twelfth century, but it appears that St. Erat continued as the dedication.The church and its associated lands were granted to Dunfermline abbey in the twelfth century. After this, in the early thirteenth century, the Norman church was replaced by a Gothic building. The tower on the western side of the church was added in the fourteenth century. The church was destroyed by fire in 1825 and replaced by the present building. The four sided lead spire was added in 1852, having replaced the earlier 1731 spire which was probably stone built. August is the last full month of Summer in Scotland and a prime time to explore Scotland's natural attractions with long daylight hours, upwards of 13 to 15 hours per day. This is one of the warmest months of the year, along with July, and you should expect some rain, though just how much depends on where you travel. 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 All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
