Tour Scotland short 4K Winter travel video clip of a cloudy road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, East on the A917 route on ancestry visit to the parish church in Kilrenny East, Neuk Of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The first element of the name Kilrenny is from the Scottish Gaelic cill, meaning, church. The renny element may perpetuate a worn down form of Etharnan or Itharnan, an early churchman who died among the Picts in 669. The village was formerly Upper Kilrenny, until nearby Lower Kilrenny changed its name to Cellardyke in the 16th century. There has been a church building in Kilrenny for over a thousand years. The first church in Kilrenny was probably connected with Saint Adrian, an Irish monk who lived in a cave at nearby Caiplie until killed by Vikings in 875. The old church was replaced in 1808 by the present building, although the tower still remains from the old church and dates back to the 1400’s. When Cardinal David Beaton was murdered in 1546, he was buried in a hidden location near Kilrenny church to avoid desecration by his enemies. The location of the tomb is unknown to this day. 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
