Tour Scotland 4K Autumn morning travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive from Dundee, South over the Tay Road Bridge which spans the Firth of Tay on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The Tay Road Bridge carries the A92 road across the Firth of Tay from Dundee to North Fife in Scotland, just downstream of the Tay Rail Bridge. At around 1.4 miles long it is one of the longest road bridges in Europe, and was opened in 1966, replacing the old Tay ferry. The bridge was designed by consulting engineers WA Fairhurst & Partners of Glasgow and Dundee, under the direct supervision of the firm's founding partner, civil engineer William Fairhurst, born 21 August 1903. He was a British bridge designer and international chess master. He was highly accomplished in both disciplines and for many years successfully divided his time between two careers. He was appointed a CBE for his services to engineering, and in chess he was several times champion of Scotland, gaining the title of International Master in 1951. He died on 13 March 1982. 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. Meteorological Autumn or Fall is different from standard and astronomical Autumn and begins September 1 and ends November 30.
