Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, to Lamond Drive on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to St Andrews, North East Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Lamond Drive is a significant residential thoroughfare in St Andrews, primarily developed during the mid 1920s to late 1930s as part of the town's first major post war southward expansion. It serves as a key artery connecting Largo Road in the west to St Mary Street in the east. The road was originally referred to as St Mary Street in early plans. Following World War II, Lamond Drive became a central part of the town's growth as older, often dilapidated "fisher properties" in the town centre were demolished to make way for modern housing in this area. St Andrews, known as the Home of Golf, is where the game has been played since the early 1400s. The iconic Old Course, with its natural links land, was formalized in 1754 by the Society of St Andrews Golfers. It is credited with creating the standard 18 hole round in 1764. Golf began on links land that was later threatened by bankruptcy in 1797, when the area was temporarily turned into a rabbit farm. 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 Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June
