Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and and Sporran and walking by Seafield Tower on Spring ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. A 16th century ruined tower house located on a rocky outcrop along the Fife Coastal Path between Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy. Built around 1542, it served as the ancestral stronghold for the Moultray, or Multrare family. The lands were originally granted to Robert Multrare in 1443 by King James II. The tower itself was constructed roughly a century later, likely by John Moultray. Positioned on the Firth of Forth, the tower provided a defensive vantage point against coastal attacks during a time when water travel was faster than land. In 1631, the Moultray family sold the estate to James Law, the Archbishop of Glasgow. Following his death in 1632, it passed through several owners. The last known owners were the Methven family. Methven of Raith eventually abandoned the residence in 1733, after which it fell into disrepair. 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, Kinghorn, Kirkcaldy, 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
