Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Spring road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Kettlebridge in the Howe of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom.. Kettlebridge is situated to the south of the River Eden on the A914 road between Glenrothes and Cupar. Formerly known as Holekettle, it developed after the building of the turnpike road in 1800 and the opening of the railway to Cupar in 1847. The village was a were centres of the linen trade while coal, lime and stone were worked nearby. The Howe of Fife is the name given to the fertile farming area of central Fife in the valley of the River Eden between Strathmiglo and Cupar. The term howe is derived from an old Scots word meaning a hollow, valley or flat tract of land. The ancient Viking-Scottish name Kettle is derived from the old Norse personal name of Ketill or from the old Danish personal name of Ketil. The surname Kettle was first found in Perthshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland. However, one of the first records of the family was found further south in England where William Ketel was a medieval English writer and clergyman. Some spelling variations of the name Kettle include Kettle, Ketley, Kettles, Ketill and others. James Kettle, born 1802, was convicted in London, England for life for theft, and transported aboard the Baring in April 1815, arriving in New South Wales, Australia; Charles Henry Kettle, aged 18, arrived in Port Nicholson, New Zealand, aboard the ship Oriental in 1840; Thomas Kettle, aged 20, immigrated to Canada, arriving at the Grosse Isle Quarantine Station in Quebec aboard the ship Free Trader departing from the port of Liverpool, England but died on Grosse Isle on 20th August 1847; Richard Kettle arrived in Charlestown, Massachusetts, America, in 1635; Hugh Kettle landed in Virginia, America, in 1666; Margarita, Sarah and Wennell Kettle arrived in Philadelphia, America, in 1733; Peter Kettle, aged 10, landed in Pennsylvania, America, in 1733; Norman Kettle arrived in San Francisco, California, America, in 1850. Spring in the northern hemisphere technically starts on the 20 March, at the equinox, and lasts until the 20 or 21 June, the Summer solstice. This is also the case in Scotland.The months that make up the Spring season are March, April and May. However, for travelling at this time of year, I will be referring to April and May. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. @tourscotland #scotland #bagpipes #music #drivingtrip #spring #shortsvideo
