Tour Scotland short 4K Winter travel video clip of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, across Granny Clark's Wynd on visit to the iconic Old Golf Course in St Andrews, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The Wynd is the road that splits the fairways of the 1st and 18th fairways on the Old Course at St. Andrews. It is thought that no other championship course has a public road crossing two of its holes and golfers who have the misfortune of having their ball end up on the road must play it as it lies or take relief under penalty. The Clarks had a cottage on the communal drying green where townspeople dried their laundry, and from about 1830 to the 1860s Grannie Clark supervised the activity around that site and provided endless cups of tea, sandwiches. The oldest and most iconic golf course in the world, despite its grand status remains a public golf course, open to all. The Old course is closed to play on almost every Sunday and Christmas holidays and you are able to walk around the course. The name and surname Clark comes from one of the family having worked as a person who concerned himself with matters of scholarly importance or of religious orders or as a secretary. The surname Clark originally derived from the Latin form clericus. Even today, the word and profession clerk is typically pronounced clark throughout the United Kingdom. William Clark, convict, was transported aboard the Ann on August 1809, settling in New South Wales, Australia; Archibald Clark, landed in Auckland, New Zealand in 1840; Peter Clark, landed in Wellington, New Zealand in 1840; Alexander Clark, landed in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1749; Mary Clark, aged 18, arrived in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, in 1833 aboard the ship John and Mary from Belfast, Ireland; Nicholas Clark, arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, America, in 1634; William Clark, landed in Allegany Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, America, in 1804; George Henry Clark, arrived in Alabama, America, in 1917. 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. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
