Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Dairsie in North East Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The village of Dairsie is located on the A91 Stirling to St Andrews road. The village grew out of two smaller settlements, called Dairsiemuir and Osnaburgh, and developed principally around the industry of weaving. The 18th and 19th century cottages were once occupied by linen weavers, many of whom came from Flanders. Dairsie benefitted from the development of the turnpike road in the early 19th century. Since the late twentieth century it has become a dormitory settlement for nearby towns. The village formerly known as Dairsiemuir may have derived its name of Osnaburgh from weaving osnaburg, a coarse linen or cotton, originally imported from Osnabrück in Germany. A castle is first mentioned by Dairsie in 1160 and King David II, born 1324, died 1371 was said to have spent much of his childhood here. It was there here that the bitterly divided Scottish Lords met in 1335 to decide how best to deal with the English, who were able to invade Scotland at will.
