Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Oakley in Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Oakley is a village 5.4 miles West of Dunfermline on the A907 road. Oakley village was built in connection with the Forth or Oakley Ironworks in 1846, now all gone along with the colliery industry. Subsequent to their use in the ironworks, the buildings were used as a sawmill producing rough timber for railway sleepers, fence posts and the like. Most of the houses in Oakley were built in the 1950s for incoming mineworkers from the west coast; these have since been purchased by the occupants. 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
