Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video of a sunny weather morning road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, East on the B939 route on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Pitscottie, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The B939 road crosses the Ceres Burn twice to reach Pitscottie, where it is crossed by the B940 road. Pitscottie is a small village in the Parish of Ceres, situated on the Ceres Burn at a road junction to the south of Dura Den and 3 miles south east of Cupar. The nearby Pitscottie Moor was a favourite meeting place of Covenanters during the late 17th century and during the 1820s the village became a centre of flax spinning. There is an 18th century bridge over the Ceres Burn. ( Burn is the Scots word for stream or small river ) Robert Lindsay was born in 1532 at Pitscottie, in the parish of Ceres, Fife, which he held in lease at a later period. He was a Scottish chronicler, author of The Historie and Chronicles of Scotland, 1436 to 565, the first history of Scotland to be composed in Scots rather than Latin. August is the last full month of Summer in Scotland and a prime time to explore 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
