Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt By Balcarres Tower On Spring History Visit To Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and Sporran and walking by the 19th Century Balcarres Tower on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The tower was commissioned in 1813 by Robert Lindsay of Balcarres as a grand object in the landscape. It was intended to act as an "eye-catcher" for the main mansion and to showcase the prestige of the estate to anyone viewing it from a distance. The tower sits on Balcarres Craig, a precipitous rock rising above the surrounding plain. The site has long historical roots; in the 17th century, before the tower existed, the prominent preacher John Blackadder held illegal Covenanter conventicles on this crag. 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 All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
