Tour Scotland short 4K Winter afternoon travel video clip, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive up North Street and through The Pends on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the coast of St Andrews, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. At the east end of South Street there are of fourteenth century arches known as the Pends. These were part of a gateway to the walled enclosure surrounding St Andrews Cathedral. During the Middle Ages many cathedrals and monasteries had impressive gatehouses controlling access to and from the religious community. The Pends were originally covered by stone vaults (the supports for which can still be seen). The gatehouse is thought to have also had an upper storey with accommodation for a porter. Following the Reformation a pension was paid to the porter's widow. 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. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March. @tourscotland #winter #music #drivingtrip #shorts #bagpipes
