Tour Scotland Spring 4K travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to South Street in St Andrews, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. South Street was known as Southgait until the 18th Century. The town was likely to have been founded prior to 1144 as a non royal burgh, administered by the bishop, and with rights to hold markets and fairs. The currently accepted medieval urban layout was developed between this date and 1153 with the approval of King David I. The streets developed as a result of Bishop Robert’s expansion of the burgh and the ecclesiastical centre. It was about this time, too, that the settlement became known as St. Andrews. The Bishop conceived an urban layout of two main streets, North Street and South Street, converging eastwards on the proposed new cathedral which was to be built after 1161, and consecrated in 1318. By the early 12th century the market place appears to have moved to the east end of South Street. 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
