Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video, with Scottish music of a road trip drive, from Crail. West on the A917 route, to Toll Road on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Cellardyke, on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Cellardyke is where I was raised in Scotland. Toll road was part of the Scottish turnpike system, allowing for the transportation of goods and fishermen. A historical record from 1867 indicates that a carter was fined for violating the Turnpike Act by allowing his horse to graze on the side of the turnpike road leading from Anstruther to Kilrenny. Originally known as the Powcausie, it became a central axis for the village's growth during the 19th century as new housing, schools, and churches were established along its length. Historically, the road was part of a major walking route for " Dykers " as residents were known, as they " wended their way " from the town to the old village of Kilrenny for worship before the local church was built. Today, Toll Road is a residential area. I was raised in this old fishing village on the East coast and attended Cellardyke Primary School and Waid Academy in Anstruther. I was raised a Dyker. 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. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
