Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and and Sporran and walking by Caiplie Caves located between between Anstruther and Crail on Spring ancestry, genealogy, history visit and on trip to the coast of East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. In the 9th century, the caves became a site for early Christian worship, notably associated with St Adrian, also known as Ethernan, and his followers. They were a key stopping point for pilgrims travelling to St Andrews or the nearby Isle of May. Jimmy Gilligan, a wounded war veteran from the Gordon Highlanders lived in the caves from 1909 to 1914. The caves were carved out of Carboniferous red sandstone by post glacial wave action. Formed over thousands of years by sea erosion, they have served as a site for early Christian worship, agricultural storage, and even a hermit’s dwelling. This is a popular tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Walking Path a Scottish long distance walking footpath that runs from Kincardine to Newburgh. It runs for 117 miles along the coastline of Fife and passes through many seaside towns and villages including Anstruther, Cellardyke, Crail, Elie, Lower Largo, Pittenweem, St Andrews and St Monans. The path would take around one week to walk completely from end to end. 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. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
